Step 1
First, cut the top and bottom off your can and flatten it out like so. I used regular scissors but imagine that metal cutters would be easier.
You also probably want to clean the can too.
Step 2
Next cut that piece in two and fold the edges down using the pliers about 1 or 2 inches like this photo.
Step 3
Last of all, you can place some clear packing tape on the inside for added comfort. Be sure to make two holes n either end to add either a snap closure or a ribbon like I did.
Step 4
And Voila!!! You are no wearing your recycling!

Oo seems a tad dangerous. Maybe it isn't but it still makes me feel nervous...

Thats what I was thinking of! I almost bought this watch (this was before my crafting phase) from my city's art gallery, that a local artist made, with a Andy Warhol pic. 90$ CDN! And now that I think of it, it looked like one out of a cereal box!
