Flower napkin ring made from soda cans


Most of you don't know that I am from Brazil. Brazil is a beautiful country and has the most amazing crafters! I bought the wall hanger above while I was living there from 2006 until 2010. The experience of living in my country for 4 years was so amazing! I was able to stay close to my family and explore the wonderful world of "Artesanato". That is crafts in Portuguese! I new that the flowers from the wall hanger was made of aluminium cans and told myself that one day I was going to make one just like that!! I am not quite there yet but my napkin ring is a start! :) Hope you enjoy!

    I love these. I was afraid they might be sharp but they way you hold them, they must not be. Terrif idea, and heaven knows we have plenty of soda cans in our house. I'm a new follower. I found you at Simple Home party.

    Indeed what pictures I have seen of Brazil it is a nice place. I wish I could have visited there in my younger days. This is a wonderful idea. I would never attempt it, but you are doing a great job. I would love having a hanger like that.
