craft ideas for old clothes

wait! see if you have cans that you can recycle for this project. i'm going to show you how you can recycle this can into a pencil holder. start by washing the can thoroughly and letting it dry completely. then paint at the bottom of the can with acrylic paint. cover the side of the can with paint past the bottom rim area. now, i'm going to paint the top rim by dabbing it with a foam brush to get an even coat. let it dry completely. cover it with a pattern paper. place the paper below the rim at the top and just about this much at the bottom of the can. the reason i paint the top and bottom of the

can like this is because, when i cover it with the paper, the can looks finished, as it doesn't show the can's color. first, measure the paper. then, cut the paper with the craft knife. put glue on the can and then, place the paper just below the rim and glue it down. you don't need to add glue to the whole surface of the paper. next, line up the inside of the can with a foam sheet. measure the foam sheet first. so, when you cut it, you'll be sure that it will fit in the can. use your bone folder to push the foam against the wall of the can. then, use a little bit of glue to hold the foam to the can. now, let's decorate this can with a strip of felt ribbon.

measure the length of the ribbon by placing it inside where the foam lines meet, place it about a quarter from top and bring it outside of the can. cut the strip, peel it off and stick it to the can. the last step is to put a tag, you can write your name or anything on it. put a dab ofglue on it and place it just below the end of the felt strip. last, but not least, put pearl stickers on both sides of the tag to add more dimension and a touch of class. here you go, a lovely pencil holder from a can that you would normally just throw in the trash. you can save money, and help the environment, by doing this craft project.
