A tip about sizing the cork: Tape the first edge to the can, wrap to fit, overlap a little bit and then slice through both layers with a utility knife. Unwrap, apply the glue, and when you re-wrap it, the edges will be absolutely exact. Hope you enjoy the tip, and thanks again!!Denise from Arkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042769505191935940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-72928385294769084022011-05-06T22:16:51.492-04:002011-05-06T22:16:51.492-04:00What a great idea, and so "green" and th...What a great idea, and so "green" and thrifty!

I am always looking forward to TTT, you ...Hi Karen,<br />I am always looking forward to TTT, you just get me thinking of "sew" many more ideas! I really can't wait to read TTT!!!<br />When I saw this one, I immediately thought of the foam sodapop can cooler holders. I'll bet you could cover one of those with maybe one layer of cork; but would probably need to put a soda can inside for stability when doing the cork glue application. I see those foam ones free at yard sales with some odd advertising on them.<br /> <br />Or maybe you could get those self-stick foam sheets to apply to your can? Not sure how the foam would hold up visually to thumbtacks over time. Maybe apply the foam then cover with some loose weave fabric to camoflague, or enhance. Since your can is magnetic, maybe you could apply a favorite piece of fabric (stiffened with "stiffy" or similar) directly to the can & glue your button to a disc magnet. <br />Sorry, your posts do this to me...just one thing after another. I think this is a positive form of digressing, I hope. :)<br />I would love to pick your brain for ideas with so many of my "finds". Hope you will (if you haven't already) do a linking party where everyone posts there unusual materials...see what you & others come up with before it all goes to the landfill!<br />Thanks again for all your inspiration!<br />Cathy T.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-43688111246484311072011-05-04T20:37:55.630-04:002011-05-04T20:37:55.630-04:00It doesn't matter if it's the circumferenc...It doesn't matter if it's the circumference or the diameter we all knew what she meant except you "anonymous".Elsiehttp://google.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-49344280943360205022011-05-04T14:09:44.475-04:002011-05-04T14:09:44.475-04:00What a great idea!What a great idea!Rickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16648508012714799381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-39509749287680814632011-05-04T10:10:54.469-04:002011-05-04T10:10:54.469-04:00Great idea!

By wrapping the tape around the can, you measure its circumference, not its diameter (that is the line that passes through the center and connects two points located onto the circumference). Go and fix that :o) Have a wonderful day.<br />Clarissa<br />http://www.artfire.com/users/clarissa68Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-1827496948606321972011-05-04T00:16:29.484-04:002011-05-04T00:16:29.484-04:00FIESTA :)FIESTA :)Monica Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08671309236814160731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-41339936663818000072011-05-03T23:54:45.202-04:002011-05-03T23:54:45.202-04:00So cute!
