It's not too late to jump on the copper and marble trend—especially if you give the look a fresh spin (and make it way more affordable) by DIY-ing it. Add a touch of luxe to notebooks, planters, and more with easy-to-source supplies from the craft store or hardware store. The wonders of marble contact paper and a hit of copper spray paint never cease to amaze . . .
