Aah! I love all of these! I just made some tin can lanterns for a baby shower yesterday and loved them. Can’t wait to try some of these other ideas! 🙂
Hi! I found this on pinterest and was surprised to see my tin can lanterns photos on here! The only problem is that you are not linking to my blog: which is where the photos and tutorial come from. I do own the rights to these photos and I spent a lot of time creating the tutorial, so PLEASE PLEASE give me the credit I deserve- and it would be good if you checked your sources in the future too 🙂

Thank you so much Heather!
All of these are golden
I love #3 for holding ribbon spools. Gave me the idea to use my blueprint tubes for this project. They will hold way more ribbon spools and protect them from dust! Also it can be mounted to the wall for ease of use! Thanks such good idea.

These ideas are so cute. I’m ready to start now.
The tin can lanterns would look great for a summer dinner outside! I find that most often I buy frozen veggies if I can’t use fresh and don’t have cans sitting around any more, plus, in our town we recycle everything.;( I’ll have to start collecting.
LOVE all these!
Great ideas! I’m saving my cans. Grandson and I are gonna make a robot for the yard!
Do you put anything over the edges to prevent anyone getting cut? Or are they smooth enough to not cause problems?
