How to DIY a tin can wreath?

Hi, I am about to use up a bunch of cans for cooking. I hate the thought of throwing them away, I would rather upcycle them into a Fall tin can wreath. Any creative ideas from the amazing Hometalk community?

I wouldn't advise to do because of liabilities. Someone may think it is touchable and end up getting cut. There are Many Safe Alternatives: String Art, Paper, Wrapping Paper, white Trash bags cut in strips, silver and gold foils, etc. If you can tie a Bow, you can definitely make a Wreath out of an Old wire hanger or even a circle or coil of copper 14-2 electrical wire.

  Go to an area with a lot of trees and get some bendable wire and hot glue as well as tree limbs that have fallen such as branches and put together and add pine cones too . This is a way to start with something natural.

  Exactly, and nobody gets cut on 2 Pinecones that dangle from velvet bows...

Cut lids off cleanly (No Jagged edges) then drill holes in to fix to wreath form. If you like them to look rusted, leave outside for a few days or drench in vinegar. Assemble as you see fit. Nothing is right or wrong, so have fun.
