Creative things to do with empty pop cans

[BK_Adores_Chase]

well, in my case, beer cans...we live in Michigan and they have some really cool Lions Bud Light cans for this football season and it would be cool if I could figure out something to do with them to keep them and be creative.  Any suggestions?

My wife loves to smash them over my head.

If you are into gardening you can use old beer cans for "filling" under plants so less soil is needed. Half cans make a great digging "tool", when you need a small shovel.(not my ideas)  I used to make ornaments at the Red Cross for military people using aluminum foil and old cards. So you could cut the tops off of cans, roll them flat, and draw shapes on them. (Cut the shapes out.) Then you could fashion shapes to hang for various purposes. Like a hanging ornament, etc. Have fun.

I use old cans to make Christmas Angels. Bend the can in half....draw a face on the top side (now facing forward) with the opening as the mouth. Decorate the can with glitter...attach wings at the back...and WALLAH...you have an angel.

You can always cut the top off and use it as a candle holder.

There's not a lot you can do with cans.  You can make a purse or totebag out of the case.  If they do make special edition bottles I'd get those.  You can make a lamp, a chandelier, and many other decorative items with a beer bottle.

Hi, I don't have any ideas because I'm always collecting them for extra change, pinching pennies you can deposit them like a daily task!

Well if you have a few empties you can make a small cannon also have a tennis ball.
