Project Ideas
Business
Sell industrial-chic home goods
Create a product line of pendant lights, plant hangers, curtain tiebacks, and hardware that showcases the cable’s industrial look. Market to urban loft, farmhouse, and maker-aesthetic buyers on Etsy, Shopify, and local boutiques. For any lighting products, partner with certified electrical component suppliers so fixtures meet safety standards.
Commissioned copper art & signage
Use the copper conductors to produce custom metalwork: house numbers, storefront signs, trade-show displays, and sculptural pieces. Offer finishes (polished, brushed, verdigris patina) and small-batch runs to interior designers and commercial clients. Position these as durable, weather-ready pieces that age attractively outdoors.
Workshops and DIY kits for makers
Run hands-on workshops teaching people how to turn raw 12/3 cable into home decor and art (macramé hangers, braided handles, copper shaping). Sell take-home DIY kits with pre-cut jacketed lengths, stripped copper pieces, ferrules, and non-electrical finishing supplies—market to makerspaces, craft studios, and corporate team-building events.
Supply & salvage service for makers
Offer cut-to-length cable, stripped copper wire, and reclaimed jacketed sections to hobbyists and small manufacturers. Package by length, color, or finish (stripped vs. jacketed), and provide small-batch, same-day cutting for local maker communities and furniture builders. Add value with starter packs for specific projects (lamp accents, heavy plant hangers, sculpture armatures).
Creative
Industrial pendant sculptures (decorative)
Use lengths of the 12/3 cable as a visible industrial accent in pendant fixtures and hanging sculptures. The nylon-jacketed cable gives a tactile, factory look and the green/black/white insulation provides subtle color contrast. Build the visual element from the cable while keeping all live electrical connections to certified lamp kits and UL-listed lamp cord—the cable becomes the decorative hanger/conduit rather than the functional wiring. Great for over dining tables, bars, or as grouped art pendants.
Heavy-duty macramé & plant hangers
Braid or macramé multiple runs of the jacketed cable to create ultra-strong, weather-resistant plant hangers or outdoor swings. The abrasion- and moisture-resistant nylon jacket stands up to outdoor use and heavy pots; you can leave the jacket intact for a smooth look or split/strip it for a more organic, copper-accented finish. Finish ends with wrapped heat-shrink or metal ferrules for a polished look.
Copper sculpting & patina art
Strip the PVC jacket to reveal the annealed copper conductors and use them as a soft, malleable metal for sculpture, armatures, or wire-form wall art. The annealed copper is easy to bend, solder, and weave. After shaping, apply patinas (liver of sulfur, cupric nitrate, or natural weathering) for verdigris and aged finishes—excellent for garden art, signs, and mixed-media pieces.
Furniture accents & hardware
Incorporate cable as an industrial trim or structural accent on tables, shelving, and cabinetry: wrap it around legs, use braided sections as drawer pulls or handles, create suspended shelving by using the cable as the visible support (anchored with proper hardware). The cable’s strong, oil- and gasoline-resistant jacket makes it durable for utility-style furniture and storefront displays.
