A Lovely Recycle Project With Tuna Cans
Hi you all! Today I will share with you a very simple recycle project, hope you like it 💕
I like eating tuna and can not throw away the cans as I am a real diy and recycle lover :)
So, I started my project with 2 empty tuna cans.
I had an old bamboo placemat, I cut the it long enough to cover the affixed metal cans.
I glued them together with rapid adhesive which is definitely my favorite adhesive for crafts.
The craft is so nice even this way. You may use it as a succulent pot, a candleholder or a little organizer for paperclips and so on and on.
But, I did not stop it here because I devided to make a kitchen storage with a lid.
I used a mason jar’s lid, that is probably available at all kitchens ☺️
I painted the lid black using chalk paint. you may also use multisurface paint for coloring it.
Then comes the twist. I wanted a fancier lid, so I painted a pingpong ball black and glued it to the black colored jar lid.
As finishing touches, I added some little decoration for my new boho storage. I used a non slip rug pad for this purpose.
You may cut it any shape you like and color it.
I again painted it black and really love the way it looks.
So, this is the end of this little tutorial. I would be so happy to read what you think about this boho kitchen storage. Would you give it a try?

Yes, I have done this project and other nice cans are the concentrated juice cans that usually come frozen.

I think you must have cut the bottom out of one of the cans, but it doesn’t say that in the directions.
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
So you must take both ends off one can then?
Why not use one larger can? I don’t understand why you’re gluing 2 tuna cans together- doesn’t that leave a lot of wasted space?
