Every time I see a craft tutorial where somebody manipulates the freshly-cut edges of an aluminum can I want to scream. Wear gloves when cutting thin metal!! That shit will cut you up!! It's like paper cuts but if paper hated you and was ten times as sharp and went reeeally deep!!! FUCK!!! Be punk but be SAFE!!!

Me and my kids did DIY bunnies from (too holed to mend) socks yesterday. It escalated quickly.

Behold the METAL BUNNIES 🤟

I took this fork and trimmed it down with the straight cut tin snips.

Next I flattened the curve of the fork with a metal mallet. Then I situated the fork so it would not move and started banging the fork with the mallet until it formed around the crow bar. I worked with the clamp, moving the fork in different ways until the desired size and shape was reached.

Added the crystal was a bit difficult, hammering caused some chipping and loss of mass. Once I got the crystal in well enough to not fall out, I used pliers to shape the prongs of the fork to create a more elegant design. If I were to do this again I would try a wooden or rubber mallet, use a ring sizer instead of a wrench, and definitely smooth the fork (the clamp scraped the metal a lot)

I love the final results. It needs sandpaper to be worn comfortably, but I could see myself wanting to make more of these with different crystals and variations, just need to adjust the workflow.

I am working with an amethyst in the fork ring. Pictured next to it is a quartz ring I made using soldering techniques.

Very pretty faux punched metal ornaments. (I'd be worried about the sharp edges, though.) How-to by Kate at Minieco.

Dystopian fashion

Inspiration can come in many forms, for me almost anything can stimulate my imagination into something worthwhile to add to a story. I was sitting back the other day contemplating scenes of a dystopian nature, what would people do if the majority of them couldn’t make their own clothes because they didn’t know how?  Clothing these days wouldn’t last as long as they used to, because most of it is…

I play with guitar strings, but in an entirely different way!

Recycled strings and licensed guitar picks created into jewelry and accessories for EVENTS and concerts!

The Restrumed Mobile Rock Shop makes it's way around Michigan every year, with a stop at the WORLD FAMOUS Pine Knob Music Theatre in less than two weeks with our iconic local classic rock radio station 101 WRIF - FM Detroit 🤘🔥

How does one upcycle a broken guitar into a fully functional spaceship?

Are you a sci-fi enthusiast who also happens to have a broken guitar lying around? Instead of letting it gather dust in your attic or throwing it out, why not try upcycling it into a fully functional spaceship? With a little creativity and some basic DIY skills, you can turn your old instrument into a unique and impressive piece of functional art. Continue reading Untitled

Thank you for actually mentioning the fishing nets! I've seen so many people, not just tumblr users but professional Youtubers with big followings, bring this up, gesture vaguely in the direction of that misquoted 100 corporations paper, and then never mention where the plastic waste is actually coming from.

the top three industries in pollution are Fuel and Energy. Second is Food and Agriculture. Third is Fashion.

Even as bad as general plastics are- single-use packaging, containers, grocery bags, all of it- it barely scratches the surface on oil, coal, industrialized farming, and fast fashion.

That fishing nets are for- (dramatic pause)- food and agriculture

Yall have heard of the pacific garbage patch? That floating island literally twice the size of Texas made of discarded plastics? It's not all water bottles and plastic straws. In fact, IT IS MOSTLY FISHING NET.

BUT, as I've said before, a company can make a profit off selling you a metal straw and a reusable bottle and marketing itself as eco-concious and cute. There's not a lot anyone can sell you to make you feel like you're doing your part against discarded agricultural equipment.

You wanna change the world? Invent a $25 trinket made of old usee fishing nets and pay a Kardashian to wear it on TV.

And find a way to visibly infuse the properties of REAL OCEAN GARBAGE into its design or function, because otherwise every two-dollar contracted sweatshop from China to Pakistan will be pumping out brand-new fishing net hair scrunchies for half the price from now till the sun implodes, and the surplus waste from every single one will end up right there with that real stuff in the middle of the ocean.

Easily authenticated non-reproduceable upcycled fish net fashion accessories. They're the future
