enjoy a beverage of choice. rinse and dry.
cut the top off of the can. i used old every day scissors.
cut strips and flatten out so it looks kinda like a flower.
now take one strip and bend over the strip to the left of it and fold over about 1/2 of the end underneath the ashtray (sorry kinda confusing to say)
continue all the way around!
Finished can!

This is very inventive! I will definitely make one to put the jewelry I seem to wear daily.

I don't smoke, and I shouldn't but that's so cool to makeXD

LOL! This is @%!#&%* awesome!!!! It remindes me of how my boyfriend uses soda cans for ashtrays, lol! But it's NEVER as as nice as this, or nice at all for that matter! I spy a cream soda can that needs to be repurposed!

Hmm, that is a pretty neat project. I think however, you shouldn't use it for an ashtray.

Jewelry tin seems like a much better idea. But that's still really cool. However that one step seems a little confusing lol!

These would also make great flowers if you were making some kind of recycled art piece!

Great Idea!
But i would think you would want to wear gloves when cutting and bending the can? And maybe it would be a good idea to add extra snips and fold all sharp edges inward,so the finished project has no sharp edging?
I may give this a try..
Thanks for the idea!
