Crafts from tin cans

One day, Altoids lollipops revolutionized the advertising world. And their success is largely due to the packaging, which has become a cult. Fine tin boxes have become popular and are still surrounded by attention.

They were originally rectangular. Today, many other manufacturers already use this option for packaging their goods. It is on this form that we will focus in our article.

The fact that this is a practical thing in the household, we will prove to you in today's article. Of course, the usefulness of some proposals can be argued, but they deserve the right to exist.

So, rectangular tin cans can be used for such crafts, namely:

1. Mini lantern, candle. To create a flashlight you need qualifications and certain skills. But the candle is available to anyone and does not require special knowledge. Such a candle is suitable for travel and very convenient to use during an emergency. Agree, there are never too many candles 🙂

2. Sewing kit, needle case. An excellent travel option for a set of threads, needles and scissors. It is very easy to make it. In order for the pins and needles to hold, you can add a magnet.

3. Wallet, business card holder . A great way to store your cash or business cards. You can make the box more attractive by adding a picture or applying a picture with stained glass paints (they stick well on metal).

4. Miniature garden. Small empty containers can be used to create a beautiful garden. The main thing is to find a sprout and soil.

5. Gift card holder, invitation cards. It all depends on the situation and celebration.

6. Jewelry box. At first glance, no one would say that these lovely boxes are made from tin packaging. In this case, the main thing is creativity. A few beads, fabric, paint - and a charming female treasury is ready!

7. Case for headphones. Are your headphones constantly tangled and you can't use them when you need them? Then this option is for you. The case will prevent tangling, and they will always be safe.

8. Doll's suitcase or house. A little effort and imagination, and your children will be delighted.

9. A set of paints or pencils. It often happens that pencils are lying around and difficult to collect, so they should be carefully placed in the box.

10. First aid kit. A very useful thing. You do not know when you will need an ambulance again, so having such a kit is extremely important. But, sometimes the first aid kit can be large and there is nowhere to put it when you are going on a short trip and a trip. Therefore, a mini first-aid kit from a tin package is a great compact option that you can make yourself.

11. Photo frame. Needs no explanation.

12. Mini photo album. It will be a nice gift or an irreplaceable thing when you are away from home, relatives and friends.

13. Case for the camera. Everything ingenious is simple. The truth is not suitable for my SLR 🙂

14. Clock . Original performance. To create them, you do not need to be a watchmaker, you just need to insert the mechanism and place the hands.

15. Holder for keys and other items. With the help of a nail and a hammer, such a holder can be made anywhere. For convenience, the boxes can be marked or painted in different colors.
