How to Build the CMoy Pocket Amplifier. Appearing on Cool2Craft. Well I must admit it was kind of fun appearing with Tiffany on Cool2Craft this past week. I was very nervous but was prepared with step outs and a little practise and things went quite well. I did learn after watching myself that I tend to roll my eyes too much and need to move the camera lense over a touch but other than that I will give myself a 7 out 10. I showed how to create fun 'Soda Can Coasters' this time around and I am happy to report that they received wonderful comments.

I personally liked the project as my 26 year old daughter thought that they were very cool. It is always nice when your children like what you come up with now and then. Here is the How To: Wash out the soda can and then turn it over onto a dry cloth and let it drip dry. Cut the can apart using craft scissors (no, not your sewing scissors) along the top and bottom edge of the can.

Press fusible web to the back of the of the soda can cut-up and using a rotary cutter, mat and ruler cut into 3" squares. Elegant ‘tin can’ tea light holder | Whatimade.com. 1) Who said baked beans and a naked flame don’t mix… 2) …hey, don’t get too close (just in case). For this week’s craft I’ve rested my son’s felt-tip pens and pursued one of my other passions, creating beautiful things out of junk – in this case an elegant tea light holder made from an empty tin of Heinz Baked Beans (the beans on toast were pretty good as well). So why not give it a go, it’s a great way to ‘upcycle’? It took about an hour and a half to make, and proved to be a much simpler project than I was expecting. It turns out that tin cans are made of very thin tin, all you need are a pair of ‘tin snips’, it’s as easy as cutting through paper with scissors. How to make your own DIY tin can tea light holder You’ll find instructions on how to make one below, I’ve also included a stencil for download, this should make marking up the can much quicker, but it’s not essential.
