Miniature copper pot

Art Completed Projects

This is actually made of copper. It’s a pipe end from Home Depot, I think 1/2 inch.

The bottom was quite rounded when purchased. We sanded the heck out of them (a vice and angle grinder would have been better, but I just work with what I’ve got). It’s still not sitting quite flat, but it’ll work for now.

The handles are the eye portion of a hook and eye set. The lid is two circles of foil-covered mat board - one a bit smaller than the other. Having the two sizes keeps the lid from sliding off the pot. And the lid handle is a silver bead.

And of course, it features a lot of super glue. LOL

Thanks, guys!

@irid3sc3nt I thought of Chester Copperpot, too! Which made me think of One-Eyed Willie. And then I laughed because I’m a 12 year old boy. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

OMG! So cute and wee! SO clever to give the lid a little bit of a lip to keep it in place.
