Here is a way to upcycle those food cans/containers into functional and decorative pieces.
You can take food cans and make functional pieces like planters, office or desk supply holders, or a decorative container for a shelf.
The possibilities are endless for little to no money! All that is needed is to pre- clean the cans. You can use card stock paper, fabric, or even wall paper, cut to size and then hot glued seam to seam.
As an option you can embellish with ribbon, washi tape, etc. This can be done in a matter of minutes, for the whole family to do as a fun craft.
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
I'm looking for patterns and instructions for tin can crafts. My mother use to make mini furniture out of tin cans, also people and all sorts of things.
