A mum makes more than £10k-a-year hand-crafting earrings and bracelets out of - beer cans. Carys Miles, 40, launched her unique business, Craft Beerings, five years ago after finishing a can of craft beer. Fascinated by the quirky and colourful designs of the cans and desperate for a creative venture, Carys got to work. She decided to carefully cut and flatten the vibrant cans before cutting them into different shapes - such as studs, hearts and lightning bolts. The raw material is then dried out before being applied to earring mounts - with Carys able to make five pairs of earrings from one can. Though she usually batch-makes the earrings, Carys says she can convert a can to a pair in just 30 minutes. She doesn't add any gloss to the final earrings, with some pairs featuring shiny overlays whilst others are more papery, representing the true texture of the can. Carys made over 960 pairs of the earrings last year and sells them online and at craft fairs for between £10 - £17.50.
