Tin Can Craft Projects - Quick, Simple and Beautiful

I haven't been crafting at all lately so I was thinking it was about time to get out my glue, scissors, and crafting stash of goodies.
With all my stuff in my arms I called to my daughter so she could join in on the fun. She always makes something nice.
We started with a few tin cans. I pulled out white material, buttons, ribbons and lace. I told Christina to decorate her can anyway she wanted but to keep it white. And if she had anything silver to add that would be great too.

This is what we started with. A few empty spaghetti sauce cans and our crafting stash.
Christina made this. Isn't it pretty?
Then she added the shimmery ribbon to the top.
It looked finished to me but she thought it needed a little something else. That's when she decided to add the string of silver beads.
This is my tin can craft project. I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
Next time I use this type of can again for a project I will check for a seam in the tin to make sure it is at the back.
Since I finished my tin can craft project so fast I decided to decorate another one. This was a challenge because I had absolutely no idea how to begin and I didn't want it to look the first tin cans.
I can't believe the transformation.
Christina and I were just finishing up when my granddaughter got home from school. Of course she wanted to do a craft too. Luckily for her I still had one can all washed up and ready to go.
All in all I think we had a fun afternoon of crafting. And a productive one too.
Enjoyed the project?

Yes, adorable. I'll make three for my bathroom. One large sauce can, one small sauce can, and one tomato paste can. Use for cotton balls, q-tips, and make-up pads.

Great ideas! Looks like you have a lid on the cans. Do you?
