Today at
Michelle Perkett Studio we are having an Earth Day Blog Hop and if you arrived here from
Robyns AWESOME blog then you are on the right track. Our challenge was to use recycled stuff and we must have the color green. As some of you probably know....I am the worlds worst at creating projects!!!
Okay...I'll show you my project and then I explain everything!! :)
I just love how this turned out!! I was trying to think of something to do (well actually I was racking my brain) when it hit me!!! I had just emptied a half gallon carton of soy milk and was thinking that I could make something with that. Well, then I saw a couple of Fresca soda cans sitting on the counter and that's when it slapped me right in the face!!! I was going to make a flower arrangement with pop cans, a milk carton and shredded paper. I used my flower punches to punch out my pop cans. That was a kill 2 birds with one stone moment! You know how they always tell you to use tin foil to sharpen your punches? Well, tin foil is not something that you can recycle so by using the aluminum can I was able to sharpen my punches and still be able to recycle the aluminum that I didn't use!! Now how cool is that, huh!?! I used shredded paper (that I actually swiped out of the worm bedding bag) to hold my flowers up and this is sprayed with white paint and also green Glimmer Mist. I used Michelle's "
Mary Mary" image because I thought she would be perfect for this project!!
So....what do you think!?! My hubby even loved it and thinks that I should try to sell them. I was like....WHATEVER!!!!
Your next stop on the hop is the always amazing

Oh Tammy! This ROCKS! I love that you've used soft drink cans for the flowers! We recycle the cans here in Oz, and also the ring pulls - a program I support recycles 1 kilogram of ring pulls into 1 adult sized artificial limb... This whole project is just stunning ... and what a great way to maintain your punches at the same time!
God Bless!
