Aluminum Flower Workshop
Oh, the possibilities of reuse! In this workshop, you’ll learn to take aluminum cans from your favorite drinks and turn them into a wreath-sized flower to put in your garden, on your door, or anywhere inside or out!
Who may participate?
• Adults
• Ages 14-17 with adult partner
This workshop is fun for family members to do together, but keep in mind that some hand strength is needed to cut & staple the aluminum.
What to bring?
• 12-20 empty & clean aluminum cans. More cans = “fluffier” flower!
Recommended to bring but not required –
• A pair of pointed utility scissors or jewelers shears (not something you hope to cut fabric with later!) *** we will have some to share, but may not have enough for everyone depending on attendance
• Close-fitting work/garden gloves for protection against sharp edges (big & clunky gloves will be harder to work with)
• Utility stapler to attach petals to wood base *** we will have some to share, but these staplers can be hard on the hands, so feel free to bring any easy-squeeze staplers you may have
