If you love drinking soda (in a can) then you are in luck. There are so much cool things that can be made from soda cans. Some cool things include beautiful aluminum Christmas Angels, bracelets, pendants, a pencil or pen holder, flowers, stars, and animals. The list can go on and on.
Adults should always supervise children who are making crafts from any form of aluminum. Cutting it can use physical harm to children if they are not careful. Some crafts requires less supervision than others.
