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.

aluminum: drink can
bling: clear gem

knife: to cut the top & bottom of aluminum soda can

Here Comes The Bride Handkerchief

Created this altered handkerchief for my oldest sister's daughter that is getting married. Not sure if she will use it. I like it and think it is nice.

Used Sweethearts Cricut cartridge for the phrase "Here Comes The Bride." Cut the phrase out using red cardstock. Attached the phrase to white cardstock. Scanned the phrase
with my Canon scanner. Followed directions on Avery  iron-on transfer paper pkg. Flipped the phrase since I was going to use iron-on transfer paper. Printed the flipped phrase on Avery iron-on transfer paper. Used a Spellbinder Nestabilities Classic Scalloped Squares Large die cut to cut the phrase out. Ironed the handkerchief. Removed the water from iron & turned off/closed steam vent on iron. Allowed iron to warm up without water and highest setting for 5 mins. Placed the iron-on transfer paper with phrase side face down onto handkerchief. After iron warmed up I ironed the backside of the iron-on transfer paper left to right and then top to bottom for about 20 secs+ in each direction. After ironing allowed for 2 mins+ cooling time. Waiting longer for cooling time is best.
Then peel the paper off slowly and phrase is on the handkerchief.

 Flipped phrase:
