Create a fun way to tell time with this recycled tin watch bracelet. You will transform a vintage spice tin (provided) into the parts for your watch bracelet. This is a project-based class in which you will also learn techniques of cutting metal into shapes, filing and sanding metal and punching holes in metal and inserting eyelets to attach your tin pieces to each other. Attach tiny found objects that you may have brought with you to complete your new creation to wear out of class.
