Chef’s Special
Turn pretty pie-filling
cans into a piece of folk art that doubles as a cooking utensil holder. Bolt
three eye-catching blueberry cans to a wooden cutting board with a frame hanger
on the back. Display your clever work on the wall near the stove, and you’ll
never search for your favorite spatula again. Bon appétit!
The Great Dividers
No matter how hard you try to keep drawers from collecting
junk, they seem to be the vortex of miscellany. Get control over the odds and
ends by cleaning a dozen tuna cans and nestling them into a drawer. Each little
compartment can store thumbtacks, rubberbands, clips or twist ties. Junk drawer
no more!
Clutter Cups
Corral the clutter in the
kids’ room with magnetic tin cans. Hot glue heavy-duty magnets to ten soup cans
and stick them to a steel cookie sheet. Hang it within kids’ reach using a
plate hanger. Use the cups to hold crayons, chalk, markers and even Legos.
Label the cans for easy clean up.
Closet Can Do
Organize your accessories
with a scarf display made of sleek silver cans. Arrange seven soup cans to
create a tight circle with one can in the center. Tightly wrap a long sash
around the bundle of cans, secure it with a knot at the top, then hang your new
organizer on the wall. Each cubby stores a colorful scarf and adds stylish
organization to your closet.
Cannery Row
Keep the weeds out of the seeds by organizing your
potting bench with bright vegetable cans. Choose a brand with gorgeous graphics
of tomatoes, corn and green beans, or whatever you plan to plant. The
clean-edge can opener creates nice fitting lids, too, so your seeds will stay
high and dry.
