Are you that kind of people who cannot trash any single tin can? Then, you will love this post as I am going to give you great ideas for upcycling your tin can.
Tin cans are actually very useful waste products. They come in many dimensions as in the shoe boxes and they are also very easy to work with. You do not have to very talented or too creative to upcycle a tin can. You can just put some washi tapes on it or just paint them and use in wherever you need.
In Turkey, our grandparents have been using tin cans to grow wonderful flowers so we actually used to see them in our balconies and homes. These ideas that you will see here are more creative of course. Here we go.
Tin can upcycling as pen holders
You can upcycle a tin can or a group of tin cans to turn them into cute pen holders. It does not solely have to be a pen holder though. You can organize your brushes, scissors, hooks or knitting needles. You can paint them, cover them with fabrics, patterned papers, washi tapes, burlaps or laces.
Tin can upcycling as organizers
If you are addicted to being organized, you should not ever trash any single tin can as they are very useful as organizers. As you see below, they are usually grouped and glued or tied together. By this way, you will have the opportunity to organize your stuff by categories if you like. Again, painting, covering with papers or fabrics, decorating are some of the ideas to personalize your tin can organizers.
Tin can upcycling as vases
IT sounds like a not very good idea, is not it? Could a tin can be enough beautiful to keep a beautiful flower? Yes, indeed they can. A touch of a talented hand could beautify anything, trust me. Here are some good examples for you.
Tin can upcycling as decorative objects and containers
While upcycling a tin can, the only limit you have is your imaginations'. Using tin cans as silverware holders or as personal picnic baskets are products of such unlimited imaginations. Tin cans can also be upcycled into candle holders, decorative objects or gift boxes as you may see in the below images.
Upcycling is a magical world for me. Turning a trash into a treasure is very important. I encourage everyone I know to recycle and upcycle as much as they can. In a way, making a blog on these ideas is serving for the same purpose.
I hope I could be able to give you some inspiration for your upcycling projects. Tin can upcycling is a very wide source. I may have another post in the future. So, if you like to join with your own work, please send them over. I would love to share your ideas with the rest of the world.
