Recycled Plastic Rings Snowflake
Recycled 6 soda can pack plastic rings
Staples
Paints
glitter
cord
This is for a 10-point snowflake, very pretty! Made from 6-pak ring holders from soda.
(1) Take 2 holders, and put them back to back. (do not nestle them)
(2) Staple together at points B & I.
(3) Staple points D & E together on each holder.
(4) Staple points F & G together on each holder.
(5) Repeat steps 1-4, nine more times, you now have all the pieces you need for 1 snowflake.
(6) Now, staple tab C to tab A of another holder, and continue until all ten pieces are in one line.
Flip over and staple the other side, same way.
(7) Staple K to L of the piece next to it, go all the way around. Flip over and repeat.
(8) To make it sturdier staple tabs A & C together, as close to the center as possible, flip over and repeat.
Now, you have the snowflake finished, the painting and glittering are up to you.

yes they do look lovely, but still havent been able to make any, no plastic ring holders any where , o well have to give up on it .
I really love this project, but sadly: no ring holders available in Belgium... Cans come wrapped in foil :( Sad, they are beautiful!
what is , Costco, or Sam`s Club, never heard of it before
I have been making these for years. I use to hang these from the ceiling in my convenience store. everyone loves them. I sprayed them with fake snow to make them look real.
If you purchase a case at Costco or Sam's Club ? - They will be on the cans once you remove the "outer plastic label".
HAVE FUN !!
no one has left any suggestions at how to do it , as we cant get the plastic rings any more, ispme one said get them on ebay, tried looking on there , but couldnt find any where, please help ,, so want to make this snow flake.
What a great way to green up our holidays! I love your method, it's much more sturdy and pretty than the Martha Stewart version. My mother has one of these that has been beautifying her front walk way for years.
i love the idea of this snowflake project, but i cant get any 6 pak ring holders , i have been to the bottle shop stores, & they are not making them much any more, ( in Australia ), it is frustrating, as i really want to do this , do u have any advise or help in any way where i can get the rings, or some other kind of material i could try it with,
