12 Tin Can Crafts
I love how tin can crafts have such an easy, country feel. Best of all, you can’t get any cheaper than free. If you’re not a soup person, you can also stop by any local restaurant, which more than likely throws out tons everyday. For our extremely bad kitties, we used to put pennies in a tin can, tape it up, and shake it whenever we caught them doing something naughty. This would probably work with dogs as well, as it makes a very loud, unpleasant noise. Not so great if the baby’s sleeping, but harmless to the animal!DIY Glow Jars Tutorial | Intimate Weddings - Small Wedding Blog - DIY...

I wanted it to do more for me than just sit there empty, taunting me with its salty fattening expensiveness. With the beauty of Jacinda’s Fabric Vase in mind, I brought the jar home, found another glass canister, and with the help of a fabric scrap from my collection , repurposed them into cotton ball and q-tip holders for the bathroom. So there jar, the joke’s on you!

I think I paid about 12 dollars for a set of four. Now you can expect to pay at least that for just one. Last night I was cruising around the internet and happened upon a link to a tutorial using mod podge and food coloring to make your own. Cool!
