A stunnning vase without a dime spend! 100% trash to treasure!
Sometimes you just can't predict how materials are going to react to a process, and that's half the fun of crafting! When I started playing around with the foil-lined wrapper from a package of ramen noodles, i had no idea that when glued down it would somehow pull itself into a nifty pattern! The resulting faux stainless steel looks a lot more complicated to make than it actually is, and everything for this project was rescued from the trash!
