Link Love: Soda Can Crafts

March 20, 2013 by FaveCrafts

Pop. Soda. Coke. There are so many words for one fizzy, sugary and, let’s face it, delicious beverage. We’ve all succumbed to the temptations presented by a cold aluminum can filled with of our favorite soft drink on a hot day. Even if you’re not a fan of of soda, you’ve certainly had one at some point and noticed that they a few drinks can generate a ton of waste. In fact, after a large party or group gathering, you might feel like you’re drowning in a see of discarded soda cans! Luckily, you can easily recycle these aluminum cans and use them for everything from jewelry crafts to floral designs.

If you’re not sure where to start or just need a little crafty inspiration, you can’t go wrong with this list of 18 Crafty Uses for Pop Cans. We reached out to our Facebook fans and had them contribute ideas, so you know this list is filled with projects that you can actually make. Spring is just around the corner, so now is the perfect time to start thinking of ways to beautify your garden. Both the Embossed Aluminum Sunflower and Floral Plant Stakes look great among flowers and plants. Use aluminum cans to craft to the petals – you won’t believe how easy it is to complete these projects (no heavy machinery required).

Next time you host a party or invite friends over for a meal, save the aluminum cans after the meal and use them for your craft projects. You can even make a gift and give it to one of your guests – it’s a crafty way to commemorate a memorable occasion. Help the Earth, cut down on your trash haul at the end of the week and make something amazing – what could be sweeter?

Home Decor Tuesday: Floral Motifs

“April Showers, May Flowers”

It is the month of May and the flowers are in bloom! Take time to smell the roses and make some floral home decor crafts. The great thing about these craft flowers is that they will never die! There is nothing more rewarding than seeing your flower arrangements still as lovely as ever!

Flowers can be crafted into just about anything! They can be painted, glued, or sewn on many kinds of materials. Flowers are traditionally thought of as being placed in vases. Let’s look at flowers in a more unique way, such as Frames and Topiaries.

Frames

Flowers are a great way to add embellishments to any frame!  Showcase your  special moments in these floral frames.

January 18, 2010 by FaveCrafts

Today we’re doing things a little differently. Since we literally have thousands of craft patterns and projects, I thought I’d go through and find some of the projects that don’t get as much attention as some of our more popular crafts. I came across a few gorgeous centerpieces that I wanted to share with you, even though they’re not specifically “new” to FaveCrafts. We’ll call them NEW to ME crafts for our New Pattern Monday feature.
