[quote="MichelleN"]We're nearing the halfway point of the Going Green crop at Scrapbook Heaven, and I'm here today to share an oldie but goodie: the pop top can upcycle. Here's the how to: [img]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_jD1xn-lbM3I/TX2IN3xVC8I/AAAAAAAAD3k/7AN7qDTyH0Q/1-can.jpg[/img] I like these mini fruit cup ones, but you could use a larger size. (Stay away from tuna and pet food). [img]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_jD1xn-lbM3I/TX2IO3n4G8I/AAAAAAAAD3o/4j9vQS-IwfQ/2-open.jpg[/img] I purchased this opener at Target a few years back for around $5. [img]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_jD1xn-lbM3I/TX2IP678BTI/AAAAAAAAD3s/2a2EGZoY9ms/3-wash.jpg[/img] I recommend hand washing to avoid rusting and pitting in the dishwasher (like the one above--I got lazy!) [img]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_jD1xn-lbM3I/TX2IRJqxG4I/AAAAAAAAD3w/irflfjReshE/4-cover.jpg[/img] You can get fancy here and layer punched border strips or piece different scraps together for this. [img]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_jD1xn-lbM3I/TX2ISvYi-UI/AAAAAAAAD30/dNx5FxG7OC8/5-top.jpg[/img] By trimming off the top, the circle will slip right under the pop top of the can. [img]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_jD1xn-lbM3I/TX2IMTyrCfI/AAAAAAAAD3g/PL3sqD6LJcA/6-glue.jpg[/img] Perfect for small candies, money, small crafty supplies, jewelry... [img]http://www.scrapbookheavenga.com/gallery2/data/694/7-finished.jpg[/img] Embellish your can as desired. [color=#FF0000]Challenges are due April 2nd at midnight[/color][/quote]

I have to tell you that none of the ladies that got these cans at the dinner last night would open them!

I ended up making 8 of these and want to make more for Easter. I can hardly wait for the ladies at church to see these on Tuesday night!
I just want to say that I used my hot glue gun to seal the bottom back onto the first one, but it didn't fit on as well as I would have liked, because hot glue is kind of thick. So I used Heidi Swapp scrappy glue on the others and it worked great!

Oooh, good tip. I'll have to try other glues. Always used hot glue, but it can get a little oozy.

Ha, ha--I would NEVER! :wink:

Wow, the Heidi Swapp glue must be good! I would have thought you'd need to use hot glue.
