Tins, Cans, and Aluminum Metals: What Can I Do With Them?

Katar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:00:45 +0000

DIYscene‘s Swap theme for October is Black and Metal. I usually craft with fabric, so this was a serious challenge for me! I immediately searched for anything that I could make with metal, which includes TONS of options, with a small amount of those including aluminum, tin, and copper. This purpose of this post is to help people with these metals do something unique and fun with them! And hey, you’re recycling!

Check out my previous Bottle Caps post to find out all of the fun things you can do with those!

I did have pictures for every single tutorial, but something weird happened and they all disappeared. After much trying to get everything back, the original post would not save properly, and always showed up blank. So, that’s kind of sad. I did have to redo all of the links. It was painful doing it the second time around, but worth it! Maybe I broke the blog by including too many pictures.. oops.. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this post and get a ton of ideas from it!

If you would like to see the pictures without having to click all of the links – leave me a comment with your email address and I can send you the undamaged Microsoft Word document. Again – sorry about the inconvenience!
