Flower Earrings Tutorial with Vinyl

"You might be surprised at the process for making these earrings. It is a recycling project that uses an aluminum soda can and vinyl. The soda can is easily cut in a die cutting machine. The best thing about transparent vinyl is that when you overlap it, you create a new color. With this concept in mind, I knew I wanted to make something that utilized overlapping the colors. I love how the glitter enhances the colors."
