by on Feb 9, 2009

Film is so last century, which means the canister it comes in possesses a nostalgic quality. Embrace your love of the past–and of film–with these 5 clever projects from Photojojo. Each idea requires some basic equipment to disassemble the canisters to get you started, which includes:

  • empty 35mm film canisters
  • a bottle opener
  • work gloves (optional)
  • mallet (optional, but always fun to use)
  • scissors or tin snips
  • sandpaper

And now for the projects!!
