Recycled Tin Cans Crafts

Tin cans are by no means hard to come by. They are mass produced for so many purposes, from storing your mints to storing your baked beans. Have a look in your cupboards and no doubt you'll have your fair share of tins knocking about. Many of us will just throw away our tins when we're done with them. However, with a little bit of imagination we can turn our old tins into creative pieces of art. The best way to do this is just go with what feels right to you, but if you're lacking a bit of inspiration then here are a few ideas to get you started.

Make a robot
You can have unlimited fun turning your old tins into little robots. Tins come in a range of shapes and sizes, but almost all of them are perfect for using as robot bodies. You'll have to source your own limbs and head, but have a little look around your home and you'll find something. Screws and bolts make for great arms and legs, and door knobs or light bulbs make for a cool looking head.

Make a flower pot
Tins can make for some intriguing flower pots. You could use the traditional cylindrical tin and paint it to suit the theme of your home. Or you could use an oddly shaped tin for a truly novel design. If you have a few tins of different shapes and sizes available then have a little play around. You could make a whole collection of individually shaped flower pots to add a bit of character and variety to your home.

Make a candle
This is a perfect use for those smaller tins (like tuna tins or mint tins). If you have a few candles around that have seen better days then recycle them into a whole new candle. Melt down the wax and pour it into one of these tins, place a wick in it, and there you have it, an instant, novel, creative candle that took you a matter of minutes to make.
