Upcycling is free.
Upcycling is versatile.
Upcycling can be done with things you have on hand.
Tin cans… I have a lot on hand, at all times!
Upcycle those tin cans before you recycle them!
Here are 26 activities, crafts, holiday ideas, as well as music makers that you can do with tin cans – with the kids!
I have an ongoing list of tin can ideas found on my Tin Can Pinterest Board.
Ideas for adult crafters too!

I'm a baker's wife and a stay at home mom. Hands on : as we grow is all about the activities that I do at home with the kids [Henry, 4, and George, 1 1/2]. We're full of energy and excitement and we sneak in learning opportunities wherever we can. But most importantly, we like to have fun with all of it. [Read

Love it! I need to save some tin cans. I was thinking of a Halloween luminary for one.
Love your collection here and on pinterest. The drum set you pinned is amazing. Thanks for including our tin can painting… I had totally forgotten we had done that!
I love this SO much! I shared it on my FB page & Twitter(and of course, Triberr).
What a brilliant selection of tin crafts! I am inspired! And thank you for including our drums

I LOVE to use old cans for fun projects! Thanks so much for including my tin can windsocks:) I think robots may be the next craft project on our list!
Hey Jamie, great round up! Love that you linked to your Pinterest board!
Thank you for including our tin can telephones, Jamie!
Jamie, I've been saving tin cans for ages, and I haven't done anything with them, yet! Thanks for this post.
Awesome post Jamie! I have been saving my cans too! Always looking for another idea of what to do with them
I use them to melt old pieces of broken crayon in the oven, which I then cool in candy molds to make swirly, fun-shaped crayons for gifts, party favors, or just so my kids use the bits and pieces.
I need to start saving my tin cans! What wonderful ideas!
Thank you for adding my luminaries to this awesome post. We have a whole box of tin cans and I am going to get busy. I love these ideas. We never throw a tin can away.
Can't say we've done anything with tin cans, yet… I love the magnetic robots! I remember using yarn to wrap around a tin can and making a pencil holder as a Mother's Day gift when I was younger…
Hey Jamie, I would LOVE for you to share these over on Trash To Treasure Tuesdays on The Korner!! This would be so much different than the usual ugly dresser painted to be beautiful!!
I haven't done anything with these yet, but I sure want to!!! http://kammyskorner.blogspot.com/2011/10/trash-to-treasure-tuesday-link-party-2.html
