Crafty Cans and Perplexing Plastic
As the world focuses more and more on green energy, artists and crafters are coming up with many great ideas to help recycle and up-cycle trash into treasure. In this endeavor we have enormous help from all the cool machines, gadgets and products that enable us to perform miracles.
With the Cuttlebug or Sizzix die-cutting and embossing machines and Tim Holtz's alcohol inks it has become easier to create gorgeous works of art from a doomed aluminum can!
I am a student of water management and hence fully appreciate the value of mother earth's resources, that is why I am avid environmentalist! I also LOVE to craft since I feel it keeps me sane and helps me to maintain a balance in my otherwise totally mathematics ridden life. It is a blessing for me that I have been able to join together my love for recycling and crafting to make upcylced treasures.
This article is about the projects that I have been able to create using recycled materials. I love to drink diet coke and hence have a large volume of soda cans. I have always wanted to use these cans in my craft projects and now thanks to the awesome die-cutting machines that are available I am able to turn these cans into scrapbooking embellishments, jewellry items, Home Decor projects, cards and lots else! The possibilites are endless.
Another favorite item to recycle is packaging plastic! You can make gorgeous embossed transparencies using these pieces of plactic that can then be used to make jewelry, cards or embellishments for your scrapbook pages.
For more information and lots of pictures of my projects you can visit www.thecraftycans.com or comment and ask me a question. I would love to hear from you!
