When you think “tin can projects”, you probably think kindergarten crafts, right? Nope. You can up-cycle your kitchen tin cans into classy DIY tin can decor projects with just a little bit of imagination and a few craft supplies. Not only is up-cycling good for our earth, it makes those projects inexpensive and creative. I know what you’re thinking though, tin cans? Isn’t that kinda… well, cheap? Yep, but in a good way. Every one of these DIY tin can decor projects I would have in my home! So make sure you have some canned corn, canned beans, or canned coffee on the menu this week, and save up those recyclables! We have some DIY to do!
