Soda can Flowers

Hello Fellow geeks!

The Holiday season is coming up fast, and let me guess you don't have a lot of money and your not sure what to get for  a female?  If that's the case, you are in luck! Today I will be showing you an quick , easy, and cheap way to recycle   a soda can. We are going to be making flowers.



 What you will need.

  • 2 Soda cans
  • Glue gun
  • buttons, beads ( middle of the flower)
  • scissors 
  • Tape 
  • optional Straw, pipe cleaner, or stick ( stem of the flower) 
  • Flower Pattern ( I suggest one with long pedals )  Big one and a small one 


                                      1. Cut the off the end of the soda can carefully and then cut down the side.

2.Lay the can down and tape it down. 

3. Trace the the flower patternd you have pick out. 


Note: you will need two different sizes. 

4. Carefully cut out the flower that you just traced. 


5. Take a maker and curl the tips up. Note: Make u you decide what side u want to use before curling.

6..Hot glue the two pieces together. 

7. Add  to the flower use a bead or a button to the middle of the flower. 




Voila! You now have a soda can flower. These are great to have floating water, or attacking  s straw to them and putting in a vase to looks like flowers, Whatever you decide am sure the person you are giving to will enjoy it too.
 Please send us photos of any of the projects you decide to do. Either on our Facebook, or Twitter 


Stay Geeky,
