Tin Can Turned Earrings

    So, I know that cans are recyclable, but why not create something awesome out of them while they are still in your hands? This is upcycling not recycling!

1.) Pick out a can that you find some potential in.

2.) The can that I used was thin enough to cut with scissors. Cut the top and bottom off of the can and cut down the middle to flatten it out and make it easier to work with. (BE CAREFUL CUTTING! WEAR GLOVES IF YOU NEED TO SO THAT YOU DON'T CUT YOURSELF!!!!)







3.) Cut out two rectangles about 1 inch long and 3/4 inch wide.

4.) With pliers, fold over all four edges and flatten them out.

5.) Take a needle or small nail and puncture the tin near the top to make a small hole.

6.) Run a small ring through the hole and then a fish hook earring through the ring. Now you have some earrings that rock!
