Up-Cycled Cans!
I always buy many food items that come in a can. Instead of recycling these cans I decided to up-cycle them. I decided to get creative with these cans and painted them. They were nice, however somewhat boring, so I added more details. The possibilities are endless. I love how these turned out and I currently use them all to hold markers, coloring pencils, paint brushes, and crafting tools. I'm going to make some of the pencil cans to give as gifts to some of my teacher friends.
