Can Art

Just an idea I had last year with some soda pop cans we had and I thought I would share it with you....I was looking to get alittle craftee and thought I would cut the bottom of a can off and see what I can turn it into.

So I carefully made sure the can was empty and took some big ol' tin cutters and began to cut the can....after cutting the can I then just cut little slits all the way around the cool perfect circle. 

                             I painted them to look like sunflowers and it took more than one coat.

I had a piece of wood I painted and then crackled to look old and then added the sunflower cans with glue and painted  a crow and big leafs...

I think it kinda looks like fun folk art...

I was putting it outside to hang and it was all stuff I had around the house anyways...

I think it turned out really cute (it is not perfect) and you don't have to do sunflowers it just happend to be fall and that time of year as you can see my gourds hanging along the fence...so thats what I wanted to add...

You could paint cute flower pots and add bright colored flowers using the cans...well the possibilites are endless...:) 

Has anyone made anything out of a can ...if you have please share...

Hope it inspires you alittle bit to look at things differntly...I guess this was alittle tutorial...lol
