HT to Making Do with the Not So New
Update: a reader brought up a good point about these - they could be a hazard in the garden or in a pot because they are sharp. I'm not sure how you'd get around this - a metal file or Dremel perhaps? So maybe this is not the safest idea for recycling and reusing, but if you can find a way to dull the edges, a great idea!
This crafter makes punched tin butterflies and mentions that aluminum pie plates can be used, a much safer alternative. You can bend back or scrunch the edges of aluminum pie plates quite easily with some needle nose pliers.

As was my comment on the posters blog, I cringe to think of critters (or people) slicing themselves on these as they pass by! But I do appreciate the *thot* about re-using stuff!
Good point. Thank you!
At first I thought that I'd try this, but on second thought I will probably split myself open and kill myself.
It sure is a neat idea, though, huh?
