Making Soda Can Earrings Tutorial (

[@DeeEll86442]

Actually kitchen scissors work best because they are meant to cut through chicken bones and such so they are strong enough. Plus you can pick up a pair of kitchen scissors at the dollar store for a buck. I would not use clear nail polish to coat the earrings because it will crack and peel off over time. It’s much better to use a regular or UV resin on these. Plus the resin gives a much prettier finish to the item. You can also use a coat of clear polyurethane. You really don’t have to do all of that sanding to remove the logos on the can. You can just paint over it with spray paint or a paint for metal. I hope this helps. HAPPY CRAFTING EVERYONE. Dee😊👍

I make bottle cap earring from my favorite beers. I've been wanting to do something different, so excited to use these beautiful cans I've been saving! Thank you so much!!!💕

[@kathyschilmoeller8903]

You have expanded my awareness of the ways the die-cut machines can be used. Thanks.

[@marykane321]

Thanks for the great instructions. I bought my husband some special beer just so I can cut up the cans. Have a Sizzix coming, but great to see it can be done simply without it.

[@treybeedee6177]

Your the first video I watched concerning tin to make earrings. I’m looking forward to learning. I like your voice!!! That’s a huge plus!!! 🤗 I can’t believe i’m going to give a tip after watching you for the first time. It’s about sanding off the print on the can. I’m new to tin but not to the awesome craft and art world. Anyways, instead of sandpaper I used steel wool. It was a monster drink. I hate those things! But I can’t tell my son of 38 not to drink them. So I look forward to getting to know you! Happy creating

Really enjoyed your video, I have been cutting soda cans with die cuts to use on greeting cards. I don’t do any painting, I just like the original coloring on the can. I’m excited to try these. I have used alcohol inks for the background for cards, but never tried them on soda cans. Thank for sharing

[@bettyandrews3136]

Have you ever tried getting just a glass of water leaving it and then it's set to get to room temperature then taking fingernail polish and is dropping it in there on top of the water different colors and then taking a needle a long needle or long straight pin and kind of making designs where you have dropped the fingernail polish all the different colors that you had dropped in there in this world it to make a design and then the one that you have cut out take you a wooden score skewer and put some clay that will really stick and hold it and swirl it around in that water where you have put the fingernail polish bring it out after you clean it off a little bit on the sides and look at the design I think it would be awesome

I am really loving these! Thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait to try them. Have you ever accidentally cut yourself in working with the aluminum cans?

[@CraftingMamas]

Hi Paula, I have never cut myself. The edges aren't sharp when you use a punch or die. They are sharp when you cut them with scissors. You can use sand paper or an emery board to file them. I hope you enjoy making them. Aloha, Shelley

[@barockeuse]

Beautiful ! But, tell me .. is there no problem because of the sharp edges ?? I guess you could only stick you piece of metal on a sheet of polymere clay of the same size, just a bit wider, and manage to obtain that the metal could be slightly inlayed in the polymere clay. Have you thought of another solution ?

[@aclark30121]

Yes--you can put the piece to be cut onto the back of self adhesive foam and run through the sizzix

[@artsydancequeen2964]

Thanks for this tutorial. I know it was made several years back but is it necessary to sand the edges of the pendants so they aren’t too sharp? Thanks!

Hi Brighdelynn, I will do a video on my die cutting machine. Give me a few days.... Thanks for the suggestion

[@josieojeda7235]

Very Beautiful. I just have a couple of questions. Do you ever accidentally cut yourself. I'm thinking the edges of the earrings are still sharp even after shaping or cutting. Do you treat the edges in any way to keep from accidentally cutting yourself while wearing them? Im just wondering.

[@CraftingMamas]

Hi Josie, They are not sharp if you use a punch or die cutting machine. Free hand cutting can be a little sharp. Use an emery board or sand paper and gently sand the edges. I hope that helps and I hope you try and make some. Happy creating!!!! Aloha. Shelley

[@MalenasBazaArte]

They are very thin, yes, you can hurt yourself!!

[@lisawithyoutube.comlivingc3817]

Great question!

[@CraftingMamas]

I have never cut myself making or wearing them. When you use a punch or die cutting machine the round the edges just a little. If you free hand cut them use an emory board and and file the edges of the metal. Hope that helps. Aloha, Shelley

It's easier to sand when the bottle is full. Warning. These items can cause major cuts!!

[@lindanash688]

I don't mean to be picky but your using aluminum cans not tin, the reason I watch is because I thought you were using tin.

[@CraftingMamas]

HI Linda, If you have a die cutting machine you can use tin in it. You need to use the thick steel cut dies for it. A punch would not work on it. Happy creating , Aloha, Shelley

How do you keep the edges from cutting you? the earrings are really pretty.
