Christmas Reindeer Papercraft But Made With Aluminium Cans
Took me about 3 months to complete.I Downloaded the model from the internet, resized the model to 1m tall and printed it in regular printer paper, bought a LOT of beers in order to gather the material (80 cans aprox.), glued the paper templates to the cans, used a craft knife and scissors to separate the parts.After uncountable cuts to my arms and hands during the assembly and superglueing my fingers to the aluminium several times, I'm very proud of the final result!
Upcycle Cardboard Into A Gingerbread Home/Town
Here at Bored Panda, we’re always amazed by the incredible talent people have for creating something truly special with their hands. So, we reached out to Hannah, who’s featured on today’s list. Hannah is a sewist and artist who runs a micro-business crafting handmade accessories that, in her own words, you won’t find anywhere else.
“I’ve been drawn to creative hobbies from a young age, and I’m always happy to try a new craft,” Hannah shared with us. “My journey really began after I decided to make some felt brooches for my tote bag. I wondered if anyone else would be interested in them, so I popped them online for sale, and to my surprise, people started buying!”
“My style emerged from my love of tea, sweet treats, and junk food, combined with the extra ‘cute’ factor of stitching a happy smile onto everything I create,” she added.

My Hand Painted "Starry Night" Christmas Ornaments
This holiday season, Hannah has been crafting beautiful tea mug ornaments. “The tea mug ornament originally came to life as a pincushion after a customer who saw one of my tea felt brooches requested a tea mug for use as a pincushion,” she explained. “I started making them more regularly for customers, and they’ve become a much-loved addition to my online shop.”

“The ornaments with a twine loop for hanging on a tree were something extra I added for Christmas a few years ago,” she continued. “Each year, I like to add different decorations and styles to the mugs to make them extra unique. This year, it’s all about velvet ribbons and gold sequin stars.”
Each ornament takes about two hours to make, though more intricate designs can take even longer, depending on the extra details added to the finished piece.
