How can I repurpose pet food containers?

I belong to a weekly craft group and we use yogurt containers, etc. to put water in for our paint brushes. Maybe a school could use them for this purpose.

outside wind chimes. spray paint can. punch hole on top and four holes near bottom open edge. tie heavy string through holes. top for hanging. bottom to hold old forks/spoons or etc.. i usually use metal ends from bun cans.

Hi... Some suggestions for Dog Food Cans (presuming them to be metal cans).

1) Tea Light Candle Holders (my favourite)

2) Rain Chain

3) Table Top Planters for succulents (covered with paint / fabric / strings / sand / pebbles / etc.)

4) Rustic Lamps (a bunch for ceiling hanging or floor mounted, OR single can for wall mounting )

5) DIY Chandelier with Drift wood & cans

6) Stationery OR Cutlery Organisers

7) Wind Chimes (as suggested above)... A whole lot of variety can be crafted

8) Some Garden Art, like cans can be converted into flowers by slitting them OR may be colourfully painted & displayed at appropriate places.

9) Bird Feeders (using both, can for the base part & plastic container to cover the top opening OR vise a versa)

10) With some indoor plants, hang the cans on a window, creating a green curtain.

11) Use the painted cans as Miniature Walls/Dividers in garden, patio, window sill, etc.

Hope any of these work for you !

Thanks to you all. I did donate some to my Granddaughter's school and to the nursery at church. I'm working. On wind chimes and a wooden cat feeder I saw on pintrest

Here's more suggestions. Cans for pin cushions, small pot pourries, paint outside of cans, add ribbon for hanging, seal smellies with flat lace piece hot glued in. Hang & enjoy. Put single very small hole in each container including foil type pkgs, fill each with soil, plant early garden seeds. Keep & reuse or fill with small rocks, put small piece over top yo hold in rooks. Place & arrange cans with open side down, surround with small rocks, pea gravel, or sand to create garden path.
