Recycling Cans into Vase

Image
If you have noticed, there're a certain type of canned food which are designed and manufactured in a way that each can be stacked firmly on top another. I made use of 5 nos. of such cans like the Nestle cream cans to create this long vase. Simply hot glue them one by one, labels peeled of course. Next, you need  a roll of your desired colored thread to twine them around starting either from the top or bottom. Apply UHU or craft glue as you go along so that the glue won't dry up before you. This is how I made these recycled cans come alive! The golden thread that I used here enhanced the whole look of the vase and make it looks pricey. Can you tell it's made from cans?

Christmas Affair - Pussy Willow Christmas Deco

Image
Time for decorations this festive season! To me, Christmas is the most beautiful holiday of all round the year. Beside all sought of beautiful decorations and lightings that's up at shopping malls, the white and snowy feel at the other end of the world (have to experience that one day) can bring some excitement here in Singapore. Not forgetting my go green principle, I transformed my 07 New Year pussy willow into a mini Christmas tree. About 11 months after the Lunar new year, it has certainly dried up. I coated the branches lightly with white water based paint for that snowy effect, hanged some silver baubles on the branches and twisted some lightings on it. The 'vase' was a milk tin canned, haha! Voila!
