I saw a Christmas ornament that was made this way and have wanted to try it since, but it took us a while to drink enough juice!
It was super easy! Just wash a metal juice top and dry it well. Use a dry erase marker to draw your design, and then hammer a nail in just enough to poke holes along your outline. Make sure to put a piece of wood underneath so you dont poke through to the surface you are working on!
Peter made a Star Trek symbol, I made the flower and Andrew made the heart as a gift for me! The boys loved that it is a "manly" craft since it involves hammering!
Ooo, good idea. Are the backs very rough? I guess you could glue some felt on the backs... What a cute thing to do for a tag on a gift - could just use the recipient's initial! OK, our house will be saving juice lids now... :-) You always have fun craft ideas!

Well, I tried and tried to sign up in Homeschool blogs, but I was denied about two dozen times. What can I say, I am stubborn. But I still failed. Anyway, LOVE this idea! I have three boys and I know my two older ones would LOVE to do this craft! So many crafts are so so so girlie (we still do lots of them...lol), but this is perfect! They will love using tools too! Maybe we can even get daddy into this one!
