I found this lady on esty and she was making soda can jewelry and i thought that i could make it too so i got a couple of cans, a rotary cutter and went to work. I can up with this charm bracelet made out of wire and two coca cola cans.

not anymore because you have to sand it all down so you are left with a bunch smooth charms

How do you sand it down? Just with sandpaper? Doesn't that scratch up the image on the can?

I am ADDICTED to Pepsi; I must make this.

Earrings would be cute, and maybe some other shapes to glue to a headband. I'm excited~ :3

never though about that before. Very cool way to utilize cans. I still like to recycle them. cans are bank in california. lol, i wonder how I could use glass though to make something like you've achieved.

That's a cute bracelet! I once made a "punkish tennis bracelet" with some soda can pop top things. I saved up a bunch and then I used either some sharp sissors or my dad's snips and sliced through one of the rings. Then I hooked them together to make chain. I put on about 3 tops per link, and to close I just used one, so I could easily bend it by hand. It looked pretty awesome but I can't find it in my jewery pile at the moment. I may have to remake it so I can post some pix...
