Don’t throw away tuna cans, they are worth gold in your home: how to reuse them

How to reuse empty tuna cans

Every day we find ourselves throwing away so many empty tuna cans . After all, you might be thinking: why shouldn’t I do it? What use can I have for them? Nothing, is the answer of many. In reality, we tell you that they can become a truly precious resource for your home.

Do you know how you could use them intelligently ? We’ll tell you right away. So wait before throwing them in the trash. The ideas we’ll give you in a moment will leave you speechless.

First of all, did you know that you can make plant pots with empty tuna cans ? Yes, you read that right. The process is also quite simple. You will only need some clothespins to make your pot even prettier.

Of course, you will need to get some small plants like succulents or miniature cacti that fit perfectly in the tuna can. Clamp the clothespins around the can and voilà, you have a beautiful little vase!

But with tuna cans you can also make nice candle holders . The procedure is the same as for jars, so you will have to use clothespins that you will place inside the empty can, then insert a candle placing it inside a glass so that the flame does not damage either the can or the wood of the clothespins.

Did you know that empty tuna cans can also be useful in the kitchen ? Thanks to their small but perfect size, they can become molds for single-portion flans or for making delicious desserts. Obviously, always wash them well before use and remove any external packaging. You could also use them as molds for pudding.

What if we told you that you can also make some cute and curious crafts for children with tin cans ? An idea? A rattle to hang on the crib or even on the outside of doors!

Get lots of empty boxes that you will wash and decorate as you like . Make a hole in them and pass a hemp thread or a strong rope through them and hang them on a support that you will then place wherever you like: the rustling of the wind will make them touch each other and make them ring.

If you are even more skilled and experienced with manual work, you can also use the tuna cans to make a wall clock. In this case you will also need to get a mechanism with hands that you will place, after carefully drilling holes where necessary, in the empty can. So, have you seen how many cute ideas you can make simply by keeping the empty tuna cans aside ?
