I was trying to find a gift for family and friends that would be something they could use all the time, that they could use more than once. After scrolling through pinterest for a while, I came across this idea. This reuses cans, that you would usally chuck away that ends up in the landfill. I think that theses are great gifts, to add flowers or plants, or you can even make a wax mixture and add it to the can to create a beautiful candle. You can even use a plastic bottle, which will totally change the height and shape of it. But if you are reusing plastic don't make a candle, because flame and plastic doesn't go well together. But I love to add flowers to create a sustainable vase. This is such a simple elegant gift for someone. Here how to make them...
What you need
A tin can ( This can be a spagetti, baked beans ect )
Teatowel
Decoration paper ( cheap at a two dollar shop, or create your own patterns on white paper. )
Scissors
Glue
How to make
1. Fill your tin up with hot water making sure to get the lables wet. Peel off the lables as good as you can. Leave up side down for ten minutes with a teatowel inside.
2. Grab your decoration paper and measure and cut it to fit around the can nicely.
3.Add glue to the paper and stick to the can.
