But you can also make beautiful candle holders out of tuna tins. The procedure is the same as for the jars, so you will have to use clothes pegs that you will place inside the empty can, then insert a candle by placing it inside a glass so that the flame doesn’t damage the can or the wood.
Did you know that empty tuna cans can also be useful in the kitchen? Thanks to their small but perfect size, they can be used as moulds for custards or to make delicious sweets. Of course, always wash them well before use and remove any outer wrapping. You can also use them as pudding moulds.
What if we told you that you can also make cute and cuddly crafts for children out of cans – an idea: a rattle to hang in the cot or even outside the door!
Get lots of empty cans that you can wash and decorate as you like. Cut them up and thread them with hemp string or strong rope and hang them on a stand that you can then place wherever you like: the rustle of the wind will make them touch and play.
And if you are even more skilled and experienced with manual work, you can also use tuna cans to make a wall clock. In this case, you will also need a manual mechanism that you will place, after having carefully drilled where necessary, in the empty can. So, do you see how many good ideas you can make simply by setting aside empty tuna cans ?
