If you have a lot of empty cans at home, start putting them to good use!

A lot of empty cans is not a problem, but a reason to show imagination and skill. We present to your attention a large selection of ideas. All crafts are made from different-sized jars - glass, plastic, tin. There is a useful application for everyone!

Rack

Jars with screw-on lids can be used to store various small items. For example, nails and screws in the garage. And to prevent them from dangling on the countertop, you just need to screw the lids to the shelves. Like this:

Spice shelf

You can organize the storage of spices in the same way. Use baby food jars. Then the shelf will look neat.

Romantic lighting

Glass and tin cans can become a real highlight of the garden.

• Pour colored sand, shells or beans into transparent jars. Wrap the neck with wire. Make a hook for hanging. Place a candle inside.
• On the tin cans, knock out the design with a nail. Make two holes for the handle.

Ready! Original candlesticks will instantly put you in a romantic mood.

Tabletop

Break the cans. Scatter the fragments over the plastic. Lay down the frame. Fill with a mixture of cement and sand. Once the countertop has completely hardened, sand it smooth.

It is best to use jars with multi-colored glass. Then you can even try to lay out a mosaic design from the pieces of glass.

Painting

Broken cans make original paintings. They shimmer beautifully in the light.

It is better to glue the pieces of glass with tweezers. To avoid getting hurt by the finished painting, sand it.

garden path

Broken glass can be put to good use as drainage. Place a scattering of glass under the walkway foundation. After this, you will forget about puddles and mud after the rain.

Whole cans make original borders and fences for flower beds.

Paint the bottom of the jars on the inside with glowing paint (for example, Acmelight). Then at night they will glow and create a fabulous atmosphere.

Flower pots

A storage area for tin cans can be turned into a colorful garden decoration. Paint the jars with colorful paint, fill them with soil and plant flower seeds. Create an original composition by screwing pots to a fence, post, or beautifully displaying them on a rack in a gazebo.

Bird feeders

Some of the jars can be used to create bird feeders. Why not add points to your karma?

New Year's decor

Glue toy snowmen, Christmas trees, and fairy-tale characters onto the inner parts of the lids. Fill the jars with glitter and fake snowflakes (finely chopped white tinsel). Close and place on the windowsill. To make the snowball fall slowly, like in a real ball, you need to pour 1 part distilled water and 2 parts glycerin inside.

Original photo frame

You don't have to buy photo frames to arrange your photos beautifully. Use thoroughly washed jars instead. Slide the photos through and smooth them onto the wall.

Conservation

Seal peppers, spicy eggplants, delicious tomatoes, aromatic strawberry jam and cherry compote in jars for the winter... Home canning will never compare to store-bought. It tastes better, is healthier, and made with love!

Jars of Nutella, baby food, olives, canned pineapples, pickles, mayonnaise, tomato paste - this is just a small list of what can be found in the house. Often we buy products in jars, and then we don’t dare throw them away. If you continue to do nothing, the cans have every chance of seizing power in the house. Use them to your advantage. And if you have no ideas left, take them to a glass container collection point.
