The metal design on the penstand is made out of used foil baking pans.
Just clean them and cut in desired shapes. They stick easily with craft glue. And later you can paint them if you like. You could also paint the base if you like.
Similar designs can be made on used plastic disposable plates. Clean and wipe the plates and create similar metal design on them.
Metal Glass Coaster
Save the used baking pans. Clean them and dry. And then cut thin strips out of them. Use the strips to weave a pattern on a square piece cut of a styrofoam vegetable tray.
You can create wall hangings. decorative pieces out of metal baking pans.
I will post some more items as and when I am done with collecting enough baking pans or metal foil to create my designs.
