  • 18 Genius Ways to Upcycle Tin Cans and Transform Trash into Treasure
    If you're someone who enjoys crafting and being eco-friendly, upcycling tin cans is the perfect project for you! Tin cans are easily recyclable, but why not take it a step further and turn them into beautiful home decor pieces? Upcycling tin cans is a fantastic way to create unique and stylish decorations while also reducing waste.
    Tin can crafts are incredibly versatile and can be used for a variety of upcycled crafts, including DIY projects, decorations, and even functional household items. With a bit of creativity, you can turn an ordinary tin can into a work of art.
    If you're new to upcycling, there are plenty of upcycling tutorials available online that will teach you how to upcycle tin cans into beautiful, functional pieces. From candle holders to planters, there's no shortage of upcycling ideas when it comes to tin cans.
    One of the best things about upcycling tin cans is that they can be decorated in so many different ways. You can paint them, cover them with fabric, or even use decoupage to create a unique design. With a few simple materials, you can transform an empty tin can into a stunning decoration for your home.
    Upcycling tin cans is a great way to turn trash into treasure. Not only are you helping to reduce waste, but you're also creating something beautiful and useful from materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill. With recycled tin can craft ideas, you can turn your trash to treasure and create unique DIY home decor pieces that you'll be proud to display.

      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 have seen artists use a mallet or hammer to do this crimping for the cans. It works beautifully!!!

    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!

    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 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!

    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.

    @roxannecarr8355 Рік тому

    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.

    • @OurUpcycledLife
      @OurUpcycledLife  Рік тому

      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.

    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 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!

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.
