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, do your graphics come reversed or do I have to do do that, I'm not tech savvy, thanks ... Love your channel BTW
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!!!
Great idea!
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.
What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Love this so much! ❤
Lids as a pedestal, brilliant!
They work great
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!
Glad you enjoyed ❤️
Thanks for doing a true; trash to treasure! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
Thank you ♥️
Amen 🙏
Tired of watching can projects? NEVER! 😅
More too come!!❤️
Me neither!!!❤😂
Nope! I'm back watching this one again...bc This is what I'm doing today. So fun & endless ideas!😍
I would like to go from just watching to actually DOING, though.
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!
When I worked in the lunch room of the school, I frequently had large cans. Good place to get some!
Great idea thanks for sharing
Wunderschöne,bezaubernde Ideen .😊👍
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.
Yes this works perfect!
Thank you Deidre for this video. I hate throwing cans out. You always have the best ideas.
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
My favourite was the one attached to the shovel 🥰
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
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!!!
Yes, that works great
Hello please when you plant flowers inside, are you puting special painting to avoid rust?? Thanks a lot 💐
So Much Fun!!! Love them all!!!!! I label EVERYTHING now with Packing Tape and Printed Words! I LOVE IT!
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you. What great inspiration.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The shovel handle planter was my favorite, well one of my favorites. These are really clever. ❤
Glad you like them!
I love this.
There is something so beautiful about upcycled .
Thanks for watching Kathy. Glad you enjoyed.
You are so creative and lovely 😊 how do you manage to get every project to beautifully blend in and match your furniture and other surrounding rooms? 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!
Thank you so much 😊
Hi Deidre! It’s hard to pick a favorite one. I like them all! I’ve got a bunch of cans I needs to upcycle. Good inspiration, thanks!

You are so welcome!
THANK YOU ‼️everyone one of the items you make are awesome, I have learned so much watching your tutorials, I’ll keep following you, BLESSINGS ❤️‼️
Glad you enjoyed Sara Thanks for watching.
You have so many more ideas 4 using recycled cans than I knew of. Fantastic projects that I will try some of. I've done the crushed one and put floral in it. 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. Thanks 4 sharing and advising us to b mindful of the waste that can b used to do good and help our earth.
Wonderful!
Thank you for another great video. Great gifts As well when on a budget.
Glad you like them!
Love these, especially that last one!
Glad you like them!
Loved all your ideas. I actually have a can opener that works differently than the kind you used in your video. it allows the lid you remove to be placed back onto the can. It leaves a smooth edge on the can and the lid so that you can add a knob of some sort to the top of the can to make a little canister with a lid . These can openers are quite common now and come in both electric and manual versions.
That is awesome!
What kind of Can Opener do you have and do you remember where you purchased it? Thank you so much 😊
@Our Upcycled Life I love your ideas for Upcycling the many tin cans 😍 Beautiful
@@WJW1024 I have one of those can openers, and I love it! In addition to giving a smooth edge (no more cuts), they also seem to be cleaner because they don't make contact with the food. I bought a Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch, and it still served me well for 7 years. I got mine at HH Gregg, but I believe they sell them at Target, Walmart, and Amazon among other places. If you Google "Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch can opener", you can find one for just over $30-35.
@@WJW1024 I have an electric one made by Hamilton Beach. I love it.
Amei todos!👏👏👏😍😍😍😍
Thanks 😊
I liked them all. Great projects fo kids craft day.
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you SO much. I've been saving cans, waiting for some inspiration. And there you came!!! I'd love even more! I've begun using cardboard for craft cut-outs, but I'm game for any new ideas!
You are so welcome!
I love making snowmen with them. The base is a coffee can and I use 3 cans altogether and a tuna can for the hat
Great idea
