Recycling it is very fashionable. In this post I am going to teach you how to recycle tin cans and transform them into Gift boxes as original as this one, where you can put any detail you want for a birthday, party, etc ...
Materials to recycle aluminum cans
- Aluminum canning cans
- Rubber eva
- Scissors
- Glue
- Adhesive beads
- Permanent marker
- Ruler and meter
- Cardboard
Procedure for making the gift box
- To start you need a can, choose the size that suits your needs.
- Measure the height of the can and the outline to cut a strip of eva rubber of those measurements.
- Line the can with the eva rubber, I have glued it with hot silicone.
- On a piece of white eva rubber mark the contour of the mouth of the can pressing so that the silhouette remains.
- Cut this piece out of cardboard as well.
- Glue the cardboard on top of the foam and cut out the whole.
- Then cut out a 1,5 cm strip wide by the contour of the lid.
- Gently stick around the cardboard with hot silicone.
- Place the lid on top of the can to see that the two pieces fit together perfectly.
- Now I'm going to make a rose, cut out a rectangle of 30x4 inch approx.
- Cut some waves as you see in the image and roll this piece.
- Put some glue on the end of the strip to close the rose.
- Cut out 3 sheets in green eva rubber.
- Go sticking the leaves in the center of the box and in the center place the rose.
- With green marker I'm going to do details on the sheets.
- To finish decorating the box I will use shiny pearls, but you can substitute them for any ornament you have around the house.
- And so you have finished a perfect gift box for a special occasion and cheaper, impossible.
