I haven't done much in the studio, I spent a couple hours playing at cleaning my studio, but I get tired easily.
I did cut open about 15 Pepsi cans, washed and sanded them and put them away. Now I have to figure out what to do with them. I will probably use them for ATC's, and do some die cutting.
I also found a bunch of shrinky dink sheets, so maybe I'll just clean the studio later.

My DD's made a soda can craft awhile back. They cut them into animal shapes, sanded the edges, colored them with Sharpies, and then brushed on rubbing alcohol. This was in the days before alcohol inks were widely available. They were pretty cool looking. There was another craft they did by punching dents into the metal with an awl to make patterns. Google tin punch crafts. They could be made into wall art or ornaments. Theirs were set into tiny frames, and I had them in my kitchen in a previous house. I wonder where they are now? I've lived in this house for 5 years now, and I still have boxes to unpack. |

I'd love to see your Pepsi project! I'm personally Coca Cola fan and have plenty of cans. |

I did a soda can project once. I did not like it. I did not like having to cut the can to die cut from it, and then I was afraid I might cut my fingers with the finished project (it was a flower). It was a challenge on the stamping board at Two Peas. I sure miss some of those peas.

I haven't been doing any crafting. I do miss the creativity. I like to dress doll pins im n fabulous outfits and make ornaments. Maybe I will pull some stuff just in case I get an opportunity.

I’d love to see the can projects you come up with. But yeah - I’d most likely cut myself. I’m a klutz.
I’m primarily a card maker but I’m getting burned out. I’m currently looking for something else to make. Something using my huge supply of paper crafting supplies is the most logical, but I’m just not feeling creative right now.

I have made four holiday wreaths from items from the Dollar Store. They are addicting. I have enough stuff for another 5 or 6.
I love regular Pepsi and Diet Coke. I am a crossover girl.

It was a challenge on the stamping board at Two Peas. I sure miss some of those peas. You need gloves to open up pop cans, and when you back roll to straighten the curvature. I use a paper trimmer to square up the piece, and a corner rounder to soften the corners. Once you get to this point it's just non-porous paper. |
