Love this idea but I think a smooth, round globe would look nice, too.i wonder if I could cover an old metal world globe with tiles??

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Thanks for watching. I am sure you could use a metal globe. 🙂

[@garrenosborne9623]

OMG id been struggling with thinking of a different way to mosiac & have been doing mexi'can tin art for a while..... but like an idiot had not realise that combining the 2 was my solution to finding cheap n easy colour range. An outdoor version would be interesting..maybe stapling to wood base shape or i wonder if grout would grab Ali!? No more nails or resin covered. Anyway thanks for inspiration

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Hi I am so happy you are inspired. Soda and beer cans do provide a wide color pallet particularly when they are cut into these small tiles. Have fun with your project. 🙂

[@Cass4bama]

This is Beautiful! I made some butterflies out of cans last summer and put them on a flower arrangement. The flower arrangement was put on my in-laws grave. As the summer went on, I noticed that the sun had completely bleached the color from the butterflies. Do you have any suggestions for what might help preserve the color on the cans?

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Hi that is an interesting question. I have several aluminum can projects that have lasted outside but I have painted all of them. I did seal them with the DuraClear gloss varnish that I used on this project so hopefully it will help with the bleaching out of the color. Wish I had a better answer for you but I guess time will tell. Thanks for watching. 🙂

[@TuesdayBriggs49]

Actually if you use outdoor silicone caulking in clear. To the base of your project it will withstand any moisture and weather conditions

[@TuesdayBriggs49]

I used to silicone caulking for my dish art projects. Every other kind of glue and epoxy was not strong enough in the direction sunlight. Especially in the summer sun.

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Thanks for the tip and for watching. Cheers 🙂

[@astridafklinteberg298]

I’d be very interested in how it does in the weather.

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Me too. 🙂 It has only been outside for a month but it has already survived one of the worst hail storms I can remember. It came through without any damage. Our roof and cars did not fare nearly as well. Thanks for watching.

[@hihowareyou6195]

I never thought of cans I use old gift cards though

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

That's a fun idea. Thanks for watching and sharing your ideas. 🙂
