100 Ideas | Week Seventeen

+ image credit.

This week I chose the idea: list 100 uses for a tin can. When I first saw this idea, it didn't really strike me as being hugely interesting, but as I thought more about it, the tin can is such a ridiculously useful, versatile object. I thought 100 ideas was a bit ambitious, so I settled for 25. Have any to add to the list?

1. wrap with twine and use as a vase for flowers
2. hammer in tiny holes and put a tea light inside to make a little lamp
3. make tin can cakes
4. decorate and use as a container to hold pens and pencils
5. turn a can into a pin hole camera
6. tie string to two cans and make stilts
7. stack them up like bowling pins and knock them over with a ball
8. decorate and fill with sand and use as bookends
9. grow little plants in them
10. use as a money tin
11. fill with rice and shake to make music
12. tie to the back of wedding car
13. make a time capsule
15. use pretty ones to store kitchen utensils
16. make a tin can toy
