So, one day, while carting an extra-large bag of Diet Coke cans to the recycle bin, I did an about-face and decided to use them in a project. Of course, I needed more than red and silver for the image I had in mind, so I purchased a few caffeine-free Diet Cokes (gold), some Red Bulls (blue), which Ilow happily guzzled, and then picked up a few other colored cans while out walking.
I used scissors to cut the aluminum, and tiny nails to fasten them to the wood (and for weeks, had the cuts and smashed fingers to prove my commitment to the project!).
The finished project: The curtains open, bluebird (of happiness, of course!) with quattrocento halo.
ps: Ilow has since kicked his diet coke habit, so my fingers are safe for now!
