Dragonfly Christmas Ornament Upcycled Pop Can and Paper

Hi There, Welcome to the Upcycle Design Lab. I like to craft with recycled, repurposed, and unwanted materials. If you enjoy reusing repairing and re-imagining old items, I hope you will stick around and check out some of my other Upcycling tutorials. In this video, I will show you how I made a dragonfly Christmas ornament from magazine paper an aluminum can, and electrical wire. If you would like to take a short cut you can purchase one of these little dragonflies at the following link.
