If you’ve been reading C.R.A.F.T. for awhile, you know I love a good giant round up of similar crafts! You can see all of the round ups here. Some of my favorites are 17 up cycled flower pots and 20 DIY light fixtures! I’ve done a few tin can crafts lately, and decided to see what else I could make with a good ol’ free tin can! I found lots of inspiration… check it out!

So, which tin can craft is your fave? I love those crumpled tin can vases! And I had NO idea you could bake a perfect min cake in a tin can! Who would have thought! See more C.R.A.F.T. round ups here.
I have a bit of a can hoarding problem because I use them to gift homemade chocolate covered caramel corn at Christmas, but so SO MANY of these ideas look great to me! I will pin for later use!
I love the idea of using tin cans as gift wrap… genius!
Thanks so much for including me and my punched tin ornaments in your awesome round-up, Jamie! Off to share!
Great list – I am for sure going to share this.
So excited to try some of these out!!! looking for another project after this… http://www.pinkroller.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/patchwork-magic.html
What a bunch of fabulous ideas! Love them all….thanks so much for including mine. 🙂

No problemo! Thank you for making really awesome things 🙂
You are right, I am going to start hoarding tin cans now! I am absolutely in love with the number, glowing can project!
Great…except what’s the secret to painting tin cans?!
I’ve tried acrylic paint, emulsion and even bathroom sealant paint. I’ve sanded the cans. I’ve used pva. The list goes on…
So far, every can has peeled instantly.
If i need to buy expensive sealants and / or primers it defies the point…I try to make nice looking things because I cannot afford to buy them.
Mix equal parts of Modge Podge and Acrylic paint! Paint and let dry between coats.
Thanks for the feature!!
Apple Pie in a can: WHERE’S THE RECIPE? OMG? WHERE IS IT?
