Tin Can Bangle Bracelet

[karabananas]

Someone else on here had the lovely idea to make a bracelet out of a tin can ( I can't remember who, please post here if it's you!  ) So that inspired me to try my own. Instead of doing a cuff I tried a bangle type because my hand fit very well into the can. I just cut a green bean can down to the size with tin snips my dad had, used some cotton batting, hot glue, left over fabric and fabric glue. I sewed up the edges of the fabric too so it wouldn't fray.

It's a little fatter than I wanted but I still like it. I'm not sure what I'll wear it with maybe all black, we'll see 

It's my first attempt - feedback would be appreciated!

It's really pretty! - I was trying to find a tute for one of these, because mine never turn out right.
The fabric is very summery - if that's even a word. Good job. [:

That's awesome!

I like that. It looks relatively easy, but it came out nice.

Thanks!

Wow, I like that! Full of pretty much endless possibility as far as embellishment is concerned. That turned out just great and looks crisp and professional. Good work! Thanks for sharing.

 Thank you!

yes. i agree especially with the batting underneath the the fabric. I was thinking maybe the next one doing buttons sewed on before i attach anything to the can or something because it'll give it that "puffed" chair back look. If that makes sense
