The Art of Recycling - Idea for aluminum cans

[rigidheddleweaving]

I like to cut aluminum cans with my regular scissors to sharpen them ;)

[davidlee110]

Boring! I am an bad-ass American. I just keep the cans in the bag and get paid. i most found it from yards, trash, bins and some of my family and friends keep them as a group. We get about 8-10 pounds of Aluminum every 2-3 weeks. thats about around 300 cans.

Here's my idea for recycling; Throw it all in the trash. If you think you're helping the enviornment, go to a local recycling factory. You're not doing anything but tooting your own horn. Trash goes in the Trash.

Those are aluminum cans not tin cans.

Nice work!! We have a page where we select this kind of work: DI∆ Remake. This is a page for people who like to remake products like cans. Maybe you are interested in posting your work on it or just take a look.

use a can opener to open the top of the can and then cut it, much easier !

I have found that you can use a can opener to cut off the top of an aluminum can. Then I use kitchen scissors to cut a slice to the bottom and turn the can and cut along the bottom. This gives the maximum amount of sheet aluminum.

[mzamudio89]

how do you smooth the edges of ur cuts?

[mula1968]

Great! Only you keep saying "tin" cans. They're ALUMINUM cans, dear. I know, I know, I know .... I don't want to sound critical, but it was just one of those little things that kinda bothered me. By the way, I'd love to kiss those lips of yours!

[curlygirl808]

Great idea, great stuff! I'm going to see if I can find all the cans I need in the communal recycle bins.

[curlygirl808]

Great idea! One question though, did you buy these drinks for the cans or did you get the cans from the garbage?

[barbarameagher]

Do those pieces of tin overlap or butt?

[happyauershow]

Hey Cali!

Thanks for stopping by Happy Auer. Take a pic and let us know how it comes out. One person emailed they made one with Pabst Blue Ribbon cans...

[LiLMissLuciernaga]

Wow, this is great!

Ive never thought of anything like this and the frame gives it a personal touch. It sure beats the plain old wooden surrounding. Thanks. Ima try it soon.

::)
