Hi there sorry just seeing this reply now. Yes, every file has a reverse image for you to use so you don’t have to worry about learning how to flip it. Sorry for the delay.
I don't know if all of her videos are like this, but what I appreciate about THIS video is that, although there are some projects that are above my skill level, made with tools/machinery that I don't have (and can't afford), and made with materials that I would have to go out and buy, there are also a few simple projects that are made with things most beginner crafting enthusiasts have around the house already. I REALLY appreciate that variety!
I recently found that a 14 oz can fits neatly over a chain link fence post. I’ve glued a pie plate on top and these are my bird feeders. Since the pie tins are metal, I can create suet in them with lard of any type. The birds appreciate the extra food in the winter. I’m making wood ones from scraps we have this year and using a gelatin based suet with a bread baking dish.
I can't pick a favorite... I love them all. I already use tin cans with holes on bottom to repot plants, but now I will add a coffee filter on the inside bottom to keep from losing dirt and making a mess! You are simply amazing!!!
I loved them all. I’m so bad about salvaging, my husband says I am the only person he knows that takes trash to the dump and comes back with more than I took. I hate waste. I have found almost brand-new furniture at the dump to up cycle. I only take wooden furniture, I’m afraid of bugs. Most power tools only need a tuneup. I picked up a weed eater that only had the wires crossed. It took five minutes to get it running. My husband laughed because he said it was junk. I keep telling him we live in a throwaway society. It is easier to buy new then put in a little work. A note of caution; don’t work on things you can’t handle. I am a carpenter, qualified to work with many tools. I bless people with what I don’t need. Blessings all.
I couldn’t have said it better that is exactly how I feel too and my husband says the same thing to me. I’m bringing home more than I took. Lol but I have so many unique and original pieces of furniture and home decor in my house that I love and it didn’t cost me anything to have it. Thank you so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed. Have a great day.
For me the best paper to use for texture is toilet paper. OMG, the textures you can achieve and the embellishments you can make with molds! I actually will make these for giving them out for Xmas this year. Tons of cans! Loved it!❤
You are so creative and lovely 😊 how do you manage to get every project to beautifully blend in and match your furniture and other surrounding rooms? I really love the decoupage tuna cans and scrap paper, but those little pocket planters, in my opinion are the best! Especially the fabric you used!
More like 4 or 5 'upcycles' - 1.plant pots (ad infinitum) 2.stationary tools holder 3.refuse-bag dispenser (excellent, unique idea, used the plastic lid too!) 4. candle jar (might improve safety by adding feet) 5.container for odds and ends - with 3 or 4 decorative methods centered around different materials used for trim and the transfer of text or graphics, via 3 conversions; 1.crimping one end 2. paint and decorate, attach or stack 3. create aperture for dispenser. I'm not saying it's bad. Pls don't be upset that I didn't fawn and gush. The Dispenser is the 'genius idea', the others are variations on solid basics IMHO I'll be using the dispenser idea. Thank You!
Loved all your ideas. I actually have a can opener that works differently than the kind you used in your video. it allows the lid you remove to be placed back onto the can. It leaves a smooth edge on the can and the lid so that you can add a knob of some sort to the top of the can to make a little canister with a lid . These can openers are quite common now and come in both electric and manual versions.
@@WJW1024 I have one of those can openers, and I love it! In addition to giving a smooth edge (no more cuts), they also seem to be cleaner because they don't make contact with the food. I bought a Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch, and it still served me well for 7 years. I got mine at HH Gregg, but I believe they sell them at Target, Walmart, and Amazon among other places. If you Google "Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch can opener", you can find one for just over $30-35.
So many ideas! Ive been saving some cans for about a year now but not done any upcycles with them yet. Thanks so much for sharing all these ideas. I especially love the hanging container idea for live plants!
You have so many more ideas 4 using recycled cans than I knew of. Fantastic projects that I will try some of. I've done the crushed one and put floral in it. I've used things like frozen OJ 4 pencil holders way back in the 60's and 70's. This is an old craft but new ideas. Thanks 4 sharing and advising us to b mindful of the waste that can b used to do good and help our earth.
Try using your hand can opener on the top of the lid instead of the side to remove it. The lid will come off flawlessly, leaving no sharp edges😲🤔😁( I just recently learned this after 50 years of using a can opener incorrectly). Try it, so much easier.
OMGosh!!! I love everyone one of these projects!! I am gonna try the can planter with a little tomato paste can and see how that turns out!! Love your video's Deidre!!😊
Thank you SO much. I've been saving cans, waiting for some inspiration. And there you came!!! I'd love even more! I've begun using cardboard for craft cut-outs, but I'm game for any new ideas!
Absolutely beautiful ❤🎉😊 Very inspiring, useful and delightful!!! I wish you would show your finished products at the end again and showcases your work!
I have a recycling center in my craft room, lol. I love Tin Can DIYs. Thanks for all of these great ideas. I love making the wall pockets or posy pockets as I call them.
I just found your channel & I love it! I love doing crafts & being creative, but I don't have a lot of money to buy art supplies. Also, the world is absolutely filled with trash and it's nice to know that we can reuse and recycle some of it.
Absolutely fantastic ideas. I’ve always tried to upcycle cans because I have so many from my dogs food! You have given me some more great ideas! Thank you. 👍🏻
Love all your ideas x I have just started to do Decoupage I am really enjoying making individual peices. I find so relaxing to do, going to do some some tin cans x thank you for some lovely ideas❤
Love it!! One thing you are using your can opener wrong. If you use the can opener the correct way it will be smooth instead of jagged. Hope this tip helps 😊
I love doing these cans, they are so fun to make. I like using material the most. I like the ones you did with the clay they don't look like cans. Thank you for all the ideas 😊
All these ideas were fantastic. I love making the posie cans. Look forward to using some of your texture ideas. Thank you so much for this video. Blessings 🤗
Loved your video! I always feel so guilty tossing tin cans but never really had a good idea about what to do with them! The "crushed bottom" idea is genius! & attaching it to a broken handle is so smart!! I want to try the napkin transfer! So much info! I'm on overload! But thank you for the inspiration!!
Me again. I actually liked the spacing on the “brick” tin can. I liked how the rows of ridges on the can showed between the “bricks”. But I guess you could space them closer together and then grout it to get a more authentic brick look.
I loved everything and gave me some great ideas to deco rate the tin cans I'm already using in my kitchen😊 I use Deco pauge to Deco rate a few things too and I'm looking forward to learning how you make yours and a few other things that you make yourself! 😊 loved watching these! Thank you for sharing ❤
your tin can crafts remind me of my childhood, of the times my cousin and i would create a variety of mud pies using grandma's collection of used cans. i wonder if you'd be interested in creating a little still life (for a patio or deck) with some cute little "mud" pies and cookies and soups with cans and aluminum pot pie dishes etc? i'm thinking you may have to create artificial "mud," and garnish it with either dried flowers or, better yet for longevity, recycled clippings of silk flowers and leaves. some old chipped china might also add some child-like glamor to the still life mud pie foods. *P.S.: i LOVE your "pinch pot" (can) pockets! soooo cute!*

I have seen artists use a mallet or hammer to do this crimping for the cans. It works beautifully!!!
Great idea!
I can't pick a favorite... I love them all. I already use tin cans with holes on bottom to repot plants, but now I will add a coffee filter on the inside bottom to keep from losing dirt and making a mess! You are simply amazing!!!
Yes, that works great
Hello please when you plant flowers inside, are you puting special painting to avoid rust?? Thanks a lot 💐
Thank you Deidre for this video. I hate throwing cans out. You always have the best ideas.
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
Lids as a pedestal, brilliant!
They work great
When I worked in the lunch room of the school, I frequently had large cans. Good place to get some!
Great idea thanks for sharing
The shovel handle planter was my favorite, well one of my favorites. These are really clever. ❤
Glad you like them!
Loved the planter made out of tin can and the broken shovel handle.
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
Great ideas. My favorites are the smashed tins! Love the broken handle planter.
Glad you enjoyed! The smashed tins are fun to make

your tin can crafts remind me of my childhood, of the times my cousin and i would create a variety of mud pies using grandma's collection of used cans. i wonder if you'd be interested in creating a little still life (for a patio or deck) with some cute little "mud" pies and cookies and soups with cans and aluminum pot pie dishes etc? i'm thinking you may have to create artificial "mud," and garnish it with either dried flowers or, better yet for longevity, recycled clippings of silk flowers and leaves. some old chipped china might also add some child-like glamor to the still life mud pie foods. *P.S.: i LOVE your "pinch pot" (can) pockets! soooo cute!*
