Decorated Altoid tin


Here is an Altoid tin decorated to put a Birthday gift inside.  A nice watch or jewelery peice would be
a perfect gift to put in a decorated tin.

Soldering

This was a challenge, I have never soldered before and for me its not as easy as it looks.  However I enjoyed doing it and had fun learning. I will do other pieces with the solder.


Cork

Some necklaces I made using wine corks.


Wine cork key rings.

Theses are fun and not hard to make.


Soldering

I'm trying my hand at soldering


How fun..

This is my grandson's re-purposed note clip. What an excellent job.

Repurpsed

Hey everyone, this past week end my grandson came over and he likes to make things so.... we took some mouse traps and turned them into memo clips. You know for the refrigerator.

Re-purposed

I took a mouse trap, removed the spring and hook. I gave it some paint and some Christmas embellishment. I attached a magnet onto the backside and turned this mouse trap into a note holder.
