How to make recycled metal earrings from tin cans - no expensive jewelry making tools required

[@WooHooCrossStitch]

Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials! I LOVE the fact that you use ordinary tools for making all of the things you do and you're not 'pushing' all of that crap from the craft stores.

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Thanks for watching. I am happy you are enjoying the tutorials 😊

[@lorikell6216]

I am teaching jewelry design to middle schoolers and I'm going to do this with them! Thanks!

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

You are welcome. Have fun.

Hello how're you doing today hope you and your family are safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?

[@SpicyTexan64]

They need to be learning math science and literature. It's not kindergarten.

[@InvincibleJennifer]

Math, science and literature can be incorporated into jewelry history, creation and design.

[@suzanneott5371]

​@@SpicyTexan64It is very easy to incorporate math and literature in art projects.

Hello, new subscriber here! I absolutely love your upcycling! I already make jewellery from all sorts of things, but I've never thought of using cans, genious! I'm going to give it a try, I'm particularly fond of those leaf shapes you did with the flat screwdriver, stuning effect. Thanks so much x

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Hi, I am happy to hear that you are interested in making some tin can earrings. I am not sure if you have seen any of my other tutorials but I have also made lots of different earring styles from aluminum beer and soda drink cans. This video will show you a re- cap of many of them if you are interested.

Do not use a sharpening stone for that. Sandpaper on a flat surface or a file is much better. That stone isn't designed to flatten rough edges. It's for honing the edge of a knife blade.

This jewelry is much prettier then some of the thin junk jewelry from China. That junk jewelry department stores / Walmart is selling. Next time you go to the stores in the jewelry department, shake any of the jewelry and it sounds like plastic in the garbage when you’re tying it up to go out. No weight to any of it. The pop can jewelry is heavier & she designs it nicer. Thank you for a fun project!!

Hi thanks for your question. I am not sure if you saw my video on how I prepare tin cans for my craft projects. It would be difficult to do this process just on the edges and I am not sure exactly what look you are hope for but here is the link ruclips.net/video/1pRlDt_fwYY/видео.html.
