This is a necklace and earring set I created from recycled energy drink cans. I used fun foam sheets as a backing for the cans, and used a die cutter to punch out the tags with the graphics. The beads are also recycled from a childrens "dress up" set.

    My first project of this size. I usually do simple jewelry. This was just for fun to see if I could do anything this involved without losing interest in it.
