Purple Brooch Made from Alum Soda Can

Had made a green brooch like this some time ago.  

Created this piece of jewelry using an aluminum Coke drink can. To cut the soda can it's best to cut off the top & bottom. Flatten the can to use Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers die and you can get enough pieces to make 2 of these from one can. Emboss the flower pieces with Tim Holtz Swirl embossing folder. Bend/curl the flower petal pieces. Use hot glue gun to glue gem on to top flower petal piece. Use hot glue gun to glue first flower top petal to 2nd petal and then to 3rd petal. Use hot glue gun to glue pin on back last.

bling: clear gem
