These travel journal covers are made from a recycled cardboard box. I die cut the hinges from a tin - I probably will not try that again with a food tin. The metal is a little too thick and when I managed to cut it, the edges were dangerously sharp. I nearly took my finger off. Best option is drink cans, the metal is much thinner and the edges can easily be sanded down.
