• Step 1

  I started this project by designing my item on paper and drawing out how I wanted it to look.

  I then thought about colours.

• Step 2

  I then drew out the shapes I wanted onto a sheet of metal.

  I then cut these out with a piercing saw as well as drilling holes where I marked them.

• Step 3

  I then had the pieces all cut out.

  I then sanded and filed them.

• Step 4

  These were my finished charms, made from aluminium.

• Step 5

  I then decided where I would place them and also made a green cord from cotton thread.

• Step 6

  After putting it all together I had this necklace made from the charms I hand cut and some beads I choose for my colour scheme.

thanku, no its sheet aluminium, so a fair bit thicker than cans. I hav tried making jewellery from cans as I do love recycling, but havent had much success so far... watch this space.
