Can Lid Magnets

August 20, by robyn charles. 1 Comment

While some reuse their glass jars, most (myself included) simply recycle the pieces of any tin cans they use. Now, thanks to this great tutorial from Whip Up, you can now use those can lids to make gorgeous magnets like the one featured above. Be sure you’re using a can opener that cuts the can open on the sides rather than the top, to keep the edges smooth rather than sharp.

Don’t have a safety can opener? A quick sanding down of the lid’s edges will suffice in keeping them from cutting you once the magnet is on the fridge.

Head on over to Whip Up for the full tutorial!

Modern patterned recycled cardboard and TP tube sculptures

I have posted other recycled cardboard sculpture crafts but today’s really caught my eye for two reasons. The first is the fun way simple patterns created on the surfaces really made this look modern and fun. The second was using a tp tube as the base. The combo of the ovals and the tp tube just went together nicely. Pop on over to the blog Artful Parent to see more about how to make painted patterned recycled cardboard and TP tube sculptures.
