Description

Cut off the top and bottom of a soda can and turn it into a faux metal stamped look label.

Instructions

  1. Small 2014 04 09 031307 cut aluminum write emboss backside

    Cut out the top and bottom of a soda can, carefully while wearing protective gloves. Lay the blank side down and write wording backwards on the metal with a ball point pen.

  2. Small 2014 04 09 031447 trim down aluminum

    Flip the metal over, trim it down and then rub the ink pad over the lettering to accentuate the letters.

  3. Small 2014 04 09 031550 cut wood with saw

    With the handsaw, cut out pieces of wood from the wood planking. I used the type of plank that one would cook fish on.

  4. Small 2014 04 09 031649 apply clear coat

    Drill a small hole (for the string), lightly sand, and then give it a coat of poly. Hot glue the metal labels to the wood pieces and then thread the string through the hole.
