Today, we throw a very large variety of packaging products into the trash can every day, however, some products can be a good source for doing all sorts of DIY crafts.

So, as an example, you can take an empty can of tin from lemonade or beer. For the most part, crafts from cans serve as a decor, but if you turn on your imagination and fantasy, you can build something useful and usable for the home.

Do-it-yourself lighting fixtures from cans

Practically any jar can be usefully used, for example, it is possible to make a very stylish and original shade for a lamp. Therefore, the first step is to remove the top of the bottom of the can, using ordinary scissors or a clerical knife.

If you have a penchant for drawing, then the jar can be colorfully painted or simply painted on the inside and outside. After that, it is necessary to mount a cartridge with a light bulb to the bank. Everything, a bright and unique lamp is ready for use.

You can also make an interesting and beautiful table lamp from beer cans, which can decorate the room with its unusual look.

So for the manufacture of a lampshade, it is necessary to use only the tongues from the cans, but for the lamp stand, you can use the tin itself. To connect all the tongues from the cans into a single and unified structure, a small incision must be made on each tongue, after which all the tongues must be connected to each other, and then the cut point must be reconnected.

Country interior decoration

A very interesting application for tin cans can also be found for country use. So, for example, they can be used in the manufacture of garden furniture, an armchair and a table, it is a very good idea to use empty aluminum cans.

So, in order to make a chair, you need to connect all the cans together using a very powerful and reliable glue. For a more stable position of the chair, and so that it does not deform from the weight of the person sitting on it, it is advisable to fill each jar with sand after gluing.

Can alcohol burner

Also, for many amateur travelers, it is very important to provide everything necessary for hiking, especially a burner. Therefore, many tourists independently make alcohol lamps from aluminum cans, which are quite capable of replacing a conventional gas burner.

It is worth noting that the weight of a home-made spirit stove hardly exceeds 50 grams, while a gas burner weighs about 3.5 kg.

Candlestick-flashlight from a beer can

So, to perform such crafts on the jar itself, you will have to make deep vertical cuts at a distance of 3-4 cm between them. This process is carried out with a sharp knife, it is necessary to cut carefully slowly, if necessary, you can use a ruler for a more even cut.

After the jar is cut, it must be gently pressed down a little from above, resulting in an interesting flashlight design. If you do not like the color scheme of the candlestick, then you can paint it yourself with a special spray in the color you need.

Butterflies from beer cans and other figurines

It takes a lot of patience to make this kind of craft. So, from an empty tin, you need to remove two bottoms. The result is a rectangular sheet of tin.

Note!

Carefully cut out the finished shape with scissors along the contour of the pattern, for example, a butterfly.

When the shape of the butterfly is ready, you can give it a more natural look, give the wings a little lively look and decorate the butterfly a little in a bright color.

Thus, before throwing away an empty aluminum can of beer or a drink, think, if you just turn on your imagination and imagination, then you can make useful crafts from tin cans, many beautiful and useful things that your relatives and friends will appreciate.

As you understand, the question is not idle. For example, apart from the fact that you can tie them up and make flowers, and hang a frame with their help, I didn’t know anything. Well, I've seen the bag. But how it was made was a complete mystery. But the bracelet, which is in the photo below, already explains some of the mysteries - for example, that it is woven.

Sometimes it happens that you need a small clasp, then you can make a buckle out of the key

Can lamps

From an ordinary drink can, it is easy to make an original ceiling lamp for a lighting fixture. It will be a stylish, useful accessory in your interior. So, in order to make such a craft from a beer can, you first need to cut its bottom with a sharp knife.

Next, on the bank itself, you need to draw patterns. It can be ornaments, geometric shapes, flowers, and much, much more. Then we take a clerical knife and carefully cut out the composition according to the markup. Take precautions when working with cutting objects!

If you have paint and basic drawing skills, then you can paint the base of our future lamp or draw something on it. After finishing the work, all that remains is to place a cartridge with a light bulb in a jar and a unique, beautiful lamp is ready!

Desk lamp

You can make an original table lamp from a beer can. The jar itself will be a stand, and the lampshade for the lamp is made of tongues, for which we open the drink. Using wire cutters, open the tongue in one place and thus connect them together, like links in a chain.

There are many such elements for a lampshade. It is necessary to “weave” a rectangular canvas about 40x15 cm in size. Close the rectangle into a cylinder, install it on the base and mount the bulb holder. This lamp will decorate any apartment.

Crafts from tin cans to give

For a country house or plot, you can also make many decorative elements from aluminum cans. You can even make furniture out of them! For example, a chair. Put the cans on top of each other, connecting them with glue, gradually forming the seat, back and armrests. In the same way, you can build a small table.

To make furniture items stronger and more stable, fill each jar with earth or sand.

Travel burner

You can make a burner out of a half of an iron beer can. This idea will be useful for those who like to travel. Such a burner can completely replace a gas burner, and its weight does not exceed 50 grams, while a gas burner weighs about 3-4 kg.

To make such a useful thing, you need to cut off the bottom with a wall height of about 10 cm. We make one large hole in the middle of the bottom, and several small ones along the edge (along the groove between the bottom and the walls). Sharp edges are slightly bent inward with pliers.

Candlesticks from cans

Iron cans from canned vegetables will fit for making a candlestick. It is enough just to cut some pattern or pattern on them. You can simply make round holes in a chaotic manner and paint the jar in any color. We put a candle inside and enjoy the romance.

Crafts from tin cans for children

Smooth, neat jars, without a sharp edge, can be painted, pasted over with paper or cloth, ribbons, beads, beads and used as a stand for stationery.

If you remove both bottoms and cut the jar lengthwise, then we get an aluminum sheet from which you can make a lot of crafts: butterflies, birds, stars and others. Draw on a sheet of thick paper, or print the finished drawing, cut it out and use it as a template. After manufacturing individual parts, you can give them a look closer to the real one. For example, make incisions on the wings of birds, or the openwork edge of the wings of butterflies and paint them with multi-colored paints.

Possessing creativity, desire and imagination, you can make many items that will warm and please the eye. Thus, you can make a gift for a loved one, because there is nothing better than a present made in the hand made style.
