I turned fizzy drink cans into Christmas decorations – they look so much more expensive and the kids love them
WITH Christmas just over a month away, a lot of us are pulling out the decorations and putting up our trees.
But one savvy mum has shared an easy way to level up your wreath and trees - and it looks so much more expensive than it is.
In one of her , the savvy content creator shares how she transforms leftover fizzy drink cans into faux gold bells.
During the 31-second video, the crafty mum is seen cutting the cans to size, before painting them gold and adding a clapper, made from string and a bead.
“Here’s how I made Christmas bells from soda cans.
“First I hammered the cans a bit to make them look worn.
“Then I carefully cut the can about two-thirds of the way down, all the way around. Be careful with the sharp edges.
“Then I folded over the edge with pliers and I used the tab as a hook on the bell and a bead tied to a string as the clapper.
“Then I spray painted everything gold, and I used black paint, dabbed a crumbled paper towel in it, and blotted it around the bell. I used a clean one to wipe off any excess.
“I attached a set to a wreath and then added a few sets around my Christmas tree.”
