Recycled Magazine Frame

I was in a crafty mood one night, and I remember coming across a craft idea on pinterest.com. It involved using old magazine pages to create a frame for a mirror. I used that idea to create a frame for an old copy of the Declaration Of Independence. The materials that I used were, three boards for the backing, plastic wrap to cover the Declaration, hot glue, magazine pages, three plastic polls to conect the boards in back, and smail thin nails. After I put the backing together, and adfixed the Declartaion and plastic wrap to it, I then started rolling up the pages from the magazines. I used hot glue to connect them to the four sides to create the border.

Tin Can Candles: How To.

Depending on how many you want to make, get desired number of tin cans. I recycled and used a Bush's Baked Beans can, a Camble's Chicken Noodle soap can, and a Best Foods vegi can. Remove labels, and wash each can inside and out. Create desired design on the cans. You can fill each can with water, and freeze. (I didn't, I just out the cans in a vise grip where it is very sturdy, and the can won't move.) Once frozen, or set in vise grip. Get a nail and hammer. Carefully punch holes on your design. Once all holes are punched, pick desired paint color/colors, and paint the cans. Make sure not to fill in the holes with paint. Once dry. You can either put tea candles in the bottom of each can, or you can do what I did. Carefully melt candle wax, in desired colors and scents. Place wicks in the middle of each can, and pour hot wax in the cans. Make sure that you fill under the holes that are punched. And that your wicks stay upright and in the middle. Let cool, and light the wicks.
