Just popped open a fresh Canned Goods shirt and you are not sure what to do next? How about upcycling that can!
Here are 10 ideas to get you started:
-
Herb Garden: Punch a few drainage holes in the bottom of your can and fill it with soil to create a mini herb garden. Place it on a windowsill or balcony and enjoy fresh herbs all year round.
-
Pencil Holder: Once you've opened your shirt-in-a-can, use the can to hold your pens and pencils on your desk.
-
Vase: Fill the can with water to create a unique and eco-friendly vase for fresh flowers.
-
Candle Holder: Place a small votive candle in the can and enjoy the cozy glow of a homemade candle holder.
-
Mini Planter: Create a tiny garden by adding soil and a small plant to your can. This is a great option for succulents or other low-maintenance plants.
-
Coin Bank: Cut a slot in the top of your can and use it to collect loose change.
-
Desk Organizer: Use several cans of different sizes to organize your desk supplies such as paper clips, rubber bands, and more.
-
Water Paint: Use the can to hold water and paint brushes for water paint activities!
-
Bird Feeder: Punch holes in the sides of your can and fill it with birdseed to create a DIY bird feeder for your backyard.
-
Gift Packaging: Instead of traditional gift wrap, use the can to package small gifts like jewelry, candy, or other trinkets.
By reusing your cans in fun and creative ways, you're not only reducing your waste but also giving these cans a new life. So next time you open a can Canned Goods, don't throw it away – try one of these ideas instead!
