People with their imagination turn paint cans left over after renovation into stylish items that can always be used in the home. To give the tins a second life, you will have to do a little work on them. Additionally, you will need paints, masking tape or electrical tape, fastening materials, tools, glue, and scraps of beautiful fabric. From tin cans you can make flower pots, original vases, cookie cutters, organizers, and candlesticks.
Flower pots, vases
Flower pots and vases are made from tin cans according to the same principle. The easiest way to decorate is to paint the product. Pastel colors are chosen for flower pots. Wanting to give the container a festive look, it is painted with gold or silver paint.
The jar is first degreased with a special product or alcohol-containing solution. For work, acrylic paints and coloring compounds in a spray can are used. At the bottom of the flower pot, using a nail and a hammer, punch holes for water drainage. By covering the jar with electrical tape or tape, you can create a pattern in the form of stripes of different colors.
Using the same method, geometric patterns are applied to the jar. You can use containers of any size. Violets are then planted in small pots or succulents, in large - decorative deciduous flowers with large leaves.Decorated containers are used not only at home; they are suitable for container planting in the garden.
It is better to decorate the vase with more elegant decor, for example, pasting it with leather braid or fabric. Colors and designs can be any - it's a matter of taste. Designers recommend decorating a composition of several pots that will stand on the same windowsill in the same color scheme. Diversity in this case is achieved by using different shades.
Cookie cutters
To avoid buying cookie cutters at the store, you can make them from a used tin can. The tin is cut into strips 2-3 cm wide. Then the desired shape is made from the strips using a template.
Use pliers to create curves and corners. The ends of the tin tape are fastened with superglue. Make shapes in the form of a circle, heart, star, flower. They cut not only dough, but also fruits, vegetables, and cheese. They cut the tin with large scissors, trying to avoid burrs.
Convenient organizers
Organizers that came into our everyday life relatively recently have found wide application. They are used to store household small items. You can put stationery, cutlery, and handicraft items in the organizer.
The jars are pre-painted or covered with fabric or paper for decoration. Then the containers are connected to each other using glue. The organizer can consist of any number of sections. It is not only placed on the table, but also mounted on the wall.
Unusual candlesticks
Cans of paint and varnish products can become original candlesticks. 1 liter containers are suitable for this purpose.The outside of the cans are painted with the paint of your choice. The next step is to create a pattern of holes, having first drawn the outline with a pencil. A pattern in the form of maple leaves, stars, and snowflakes looks beautiful.
A drill with a small-diameter drill will help you quickly drill holes. A candle placed inside will illuminate the pattern while burning. Such candlesticks can be placed on the table during a festive feast or a romantic dinner. They will also decorate a shelf or chest of drawers when guests arrive.
This kind of creativity sets you in a measured mood and brings pleasure. By the way, it is nice to receive an original thing made with your own hands as a gift. Such souvenirs can be given to loved ones, friends for the New Year and other holidays.
