Local hardware stores are great sources of copper. Copper tubing used in plumbing is arguably the most useful for jewelry making. I have covered some tutorials before (see links below) but
this one from Resin Obsession is an excellent idea. The DIY shows how to make copper tubing frames for a resin pendant.
You do need a tubing cutter which is very easy to use. If you have a handyman at home, you might already have one you can borrow!
So once cut and sanded the deep rings are placed one inside the other on a sticky tape surface. The instructor used masking tape but you can also use adhesive shelf liners, packing tape and so on. It is then a matter of making up the 2 part epoxy resin, coloring it and pouring into the space.
