Recycling Fun :-)

So, it's summer and it's hot.  There's a lot of drinking going on
to cool you off.   Most recently Ron bought some canned beer
for a recipe he's going to cook this weekend but what to do
with those beer cans.

Well, I've got left over wire coat hangers, fish wire and of course the beer cans.
I decided to have some fun and make my own Texas Lone Star Mobile which
I have hanging from the tree in front of our house. 

Here's two photos.

                 Indoor hanging                                                                  Hanging from the tree

Here are the steps:
1)  Using wire cutters, cut beer can top and bottom off and cut one side
      opening up can into sheet.
2)  Clean can
3)  Take the cutout shapes and using adhesive glue; glue them onto can.
      In my case, I used a map of Texas, a Star and a Longhorn for my shapes.
4) Use scissors to cut out the shapes.
5) Punch a whole on each shape
6) Form the wire coat hanger
7) Use fishing line to tie the shape to the wire coat hanger.
 
Now you're done and can show off your homemade recycled beer can coat hanger mobile.

Love it
That is awesome. First I thought it was for a baby mobile but you know the fact it's made out of razor sharp edges and all. Very cool...

Re: Love it
Amazingly, the cut cans are not as sharp as you would think. I was worried, too, but they are really pretty easy to deal with. Not a kids toy, but not scary either.
