I hung them in my office, which now is so full of fun, it’s like Delineate Your Dwelling craft explosion in there.

How to make Mini Copper Pipe Shelves?
The first thing I did was cut my cork coasters in half. They were a little flimsy, so I traced the coaster onto some cardboard to act as a more durable support backing.
Here are my cut coasters and the cardboard backing ready for assembly.
I then used hot glue to secure the cork and cardboard. Then, I made a little mark on the under side as to where my copper pipe bends would sit. A little hot glue was applied.
I decided I wanted a little bit of color, so I added some washi tape to the top of each shelf.
My oh my, I quickly fell in love with these three little shelves.
