uhhh…
Does this really deserve a blog post?
really?
Yes…
We think so.
i think it’s gorgeous
I think it’s quite nice. Actually, I think it will help me clean out my perpetual kitchen junk drawer.
Thanks for the post.
its pretty dull however inspiring.
maybe poking holes in the bottom or completely cutting the bottom out then arranging some christmas lights you have lying around inside each can. then you could possibly put some sheer fabric or paper over the whole.
vwolla! light!
i think this is awesome and great decor. i want to try it out.

Dear sir/madam
I am a yr 10 student doing my ICT GCSE and as apart of our coursework we need to research on upcycling demonstrations and would like your permission if i could use one of demos above as they are very creative,easy and fantastic..it will be very much appreciated .
Thankyou.
hello,
my question is the same as Mohammad Sajjad’s and I would very much appreciate it if you let me use this as one of my six upcycling demos.
thankyou.
this is perfect!!! i saw something similar to this with cardboard tubing and it as too complicated to hang (well, complicated for someone whose tools are all in storage right now) but i can do this and i have been looking for a way to use those cans. Score!
fuck you it crap
Is it possible to use your tin can image for my GSCE I.CT course work about upcycling?
Wow, does it really like … stick together with just glue? I am unsure if it can hold its own weight.. What type of glue did you use?
Thanks for this great site! Very much inspiration!
