I have a fun and easy Trash to Treasure project for you this week. I was just about to toss the empty box from my plastic wrap in the trash when I got the idea to turn that metal piece that cuts the wrap into a pruning saw. This is a pretty easy and quick project. The hardest part is cutting the metal strip with the wire cutters. I wish I had a pair of tin snips because I think that would have worked better but I got it done with the wire cutters.
The strip from my box had little holes every ½” that were there to hold it onto the box. This limits the length of the blade we can get from the strip.
I started by cutting a piece of the strip to work with. Then I cut an angle on one end removing the hole at that end.
Next I cut away some of the part that will go into the handle and be held by the clay. I bent this so that it would fit inside a handle.
Next I covered the part that will be covered in polymer clay with some liquid clay. Then using some scrap clay I formed a handle.
Once you are happy with the shape bake at the recommended temperature for 10 minutes.
And now Mr Doll can go out and get some trimming done in his yard.
