How To Make Punched Tin Can Heart Earrings
Materials
1 Soda can, empty and rinsed
Pair of kitchen scissors
Heart craft punch
Paper hole punch
2 Earring wires
2 Jumprings, large
2 Crystal beads, 2mm
2 pairs of jewelry pliers (like round-nose and chain-nose pliers)

Steps
1. Poke a hole in the side of the can with the kitchen scissors. Be careful. The tin is really plastic coated aluminum and not really sharp. But still...be careful!

2. Poke the scissors into the hole and cut the can around the top. Remove the top.

3. Cut down the side going through the area you don't want to use in your earrings. Then cut off the bottom of the can. Recycle th top and bottom.

4. Dry off the "tin" piece. Slide the heart punch over the tin and find an area to punch for your earrings. Punch the heart out. Repeat to make a second heart.

5. Use the paper hole punch to punch a hole in each heart.

6. Slide a heart onto a jump ring then use the two pliers to close the jump ring. Repeat for second heart.

7. Open earring wire and slide on jump ring and heart. Close the earring wire. Repeat for second earring.

8. Slide a bead onto each earring wire.

Try this with other cans and hole punches. It's fun and practically free! Let us know if you have any questions. We are here to help you!
Happy Crafting,
