Comments (4)The only thing I've done with them is that I put big plastic bows on them and pile them in a Santa wagon I put on my front patio at Christmas. They look like Christmas gifts and don't get messed up in the wind, rain or snow at Christmas. Mine are big tins (like the ones pre-popped popcorn comes in. Oh, I've also seen where people cut them up with tin snips and use the colorful pieces to cover things like a photo frame or the frame of a mirror or bulletin board. Be careful, of course, because the edges are really sharp when you cut them up. Here's a link that shows a pic of what I mean: http://recycledcrafts.craftgossip.com/files/2009/03/pop-art.jpg Here's a couple of other links I found while looking for the one above. While they're more for using soda cans, I thought they were kind of fun to share: http://www.make-stuff.com/recycling/ http://recycledcancrafts.blogspot.com/ http://gingerbreadsnowflakes.com/node/163...See MoreCookie tin snowmen?

Comments (8)They make great gift wrappings. If their decoration doesn't fit the occasion there's always spray paint. Screw the bottoms into a wall (the stud preferably) with two screws so they won't turn and use them for storing season packettes or other small items in your pantry. If you have a number of them the same size you can make one of those funny looking footstools that coffee cans used to be used to make. Store Leggos or other small toy parts in them. Fill them with sand and cover the outside with fabric and use them as a doorstop. Use one to hold a first aide kit in to keep at home or in your vehicle. If you have a very pretty one you can add cabinet knobs for feet to the bottoms and one to the center of the top for a handle. If it's not so pretty you can cover it with fabric and trim to make it pretty....See More- 9 years ago
