Coke can butterfly card!
This card was made with a soda can. Lots of fun. First, you take a pop can and wash it. Next, after it is dry take a knife a punch a whole three times at the top by the where the can starts to bend down. This is the thinner tin. Cut open and throw away top. Cut down side of can. Then cut around bottom and throw bottom away. Now you have a " piece of tin paper". Be very careful not to cut yourself throughout this process. The edges will be sharp! Send your "paper" through a die cutting machine and there you have it a beautiful card. I used a coke can and a sprite can underneath for the wing. Try any can for different affects!

Amazing. Are the edges of the butterfly sharp? Do we put a caution sign on the card? It's so beautiful, and I didn't see the Coke logo until I read your description....it looked like part of the butterfly markings.
ReplyDeleteI love these cards too! Everyone I give them to just think they are cool. Once you use your die cutting machine ( I have a Cuttlebug), the die smoothes the edges. There are no sharp pieces I have found on the finish product. I learned this technique at at craft show. The can edges are sharp after you open the can with scissors, so do be careful here. If you cut the can open using long cuts instead of short ones, there are less sharp edges. I often use my work gloves when "opening" the cans. My husband is going to video me making this project very soon so stay tuned. I will post it!
