You’ll have a serving area you can be proud of. You don’t have to place pennies at random. Search the web or dream up your own designs. You can create patterns, team logos, etc.

Maybe you’ve
been holding onto bottle caps for years. Maybe you want to start. You’ll need
quite a few (thousands, perhaps) to make this project happen, depending on the
size of your bar. Many people mix and match all the colors. It’s an awesome
conversation piece in a home bar or kitchen. People enjoy seeing their favorite
breweries and brands lining the counter.
If you browse
the Internet for ideas, you’ll see sports teams' logos and other sweet designs.
Get inspired before you start your DIY bar top. You might decide to do something
classic, whimsical, or even humorous.
One of the best designs we saw was a rainbow effect with the caps grouped by color. Work your way down the bar top color after color. Pretty soon, you’ll have beautiful, vibrant stripes.
3) DIY Cork Bar Top

If you’ve been
hoarding corks, now it’s time to use them. Some of you may need to tell your
friends you’re collecting these for a project. But isn’t this stunning? It’s
somehow both rustic and luxurious. It’s wine country and sophistication, yet
it’s fun and super charming. We think more bar tops should look like this one.
You could certainly tweak the cork arrangement. But this pattern is an amazing option. Wouldn’t glasses of glimmering wine look terrific atop this beauty?
4) Concrete Bar Top

If you have
more of an industrial or modern farmhouse style, go for concrete. The color is
great. And the surface is eye-catching, for sure. This can be a wonderful
accent piece in any room. You’ll have to pay attention to the details, though.
It’s not an easy process. Leveling the concrete can be difficult, but it’s a
huge payoff.
