5. Industrial Leather Strap and Copper Pipe Bar
Blending raw industrial components with tactile luxury, this design suspends a gleaming copper pipe from two thick loops of rich saddle brown leather, anchored to the wall with brass screw caps. The warmth of the copper paired with genuine leather creates an instant focal point.
How to Make It
- Cut a 30-inch length of three-quarter-inch copper pipe and polish it to a brilliant shine.
- Cut two strips of heavy vegetable-tanned leather, punching holes at both ends to form hanging loops.
- Secure the leather straps to wall anchors using decorative brass stand-off screws, threading the copper pipe through the loops before final tightening.
Tips and Variations
- Let the copper age naturally over time to develop a unique, character-rich patina.
- Use black bridle leather for a sleek, masculine modern look.
