Four Cool Tin Can Tricks
by

Don’t underestimate the common can! If you remove the label and toss the top, you'll unlock some serious potential. Here are four creative ways to use a tin can: http://bit.ly/1fuhZ9x
Grow a Garden. Take your indoor garden up a decorative notch with decoupage tin can planters. To make these flowerpots, remove the lip lid with a can opener and insert a plastic lid as a drip tray (peanut butter jar lids work well).
Stay Organized. If things like homework hour or snack time tend to do a number on your home’s tidiness, this tin can craft from Homeroad will change your life (or at least keep you more organized)!
Make Music. If you have a few cans of different sizes, turn them into a unique wind chime with some spray paint and a few strands of jewelry wire. For a full tutorial, visit Guard’n The Planet.
Light Up the Night. Candles are cool – they give off light and all that – but do you know what’s even better? Candles that light up the night and keep bugs at bay!
