Introduction: ☆BEER CUP AND DOG FOOD CONTAINER EARRINGS☆

I made these earring with mostly recycled material. They are really easy to make and you only need basic tools.

Step 1: WHAT YOU NEED

MATERIALS:
-a dog food aluminum container;
-a beer cap;
-2 earrings hoops;
-16 jump ring;
-2 small chains (not in the photo).

TOOLS:
-pliers;
-scissors;
-hammer;
-sanding paper;
-nail (not in photo).

Step 2: CUT THE LEAVES

Cut 10 small lives out of the dog food aluminum sheet. 

→Just pay attention to don't cut yourself during the whole process.

Step 3: SHAPE THE LEAVES

With the part of the scissors that doesn't cut make a line in the center of the leave, than make many little lines on the side of it.
Bend the leave a little bit in the middle using the pliers.

Step 4: MAKE a HOLE

Make a small hole with the nail on one edge of each leave.

Step 5: PREPARE THE CAP

Flatten the cap with the hammer (do it slowly or it will brake).
Remove plastic sealing from it.
Sand the colored part or paint it.

Step 6: CUT THE CAP IN HALF

Cut the cap in half and sand really well all the edges.

Step 7: MAKE HOLE IN THE CAP

Make 5 hole in the bottom round part of each cap and 2 in the middle of the flat part.

Step 8: PLACE THE LEAVES

Place the leaves on the half cap with the jump rings.

Step 9: PLACE THE CHAIN

Place the chain: put one edge in one hole and the other edge in the other hole of the flat part, using 2 jump rings.

Step 10: PLCE THE HOOK

Place the earring hook in the middle of the chain with another jump ring.

Step 11: DONE!

You are done! I think they are really nice and I like that they are made of recycled materials.
