Coffee Cans Recycled for New Uses
Most of us love coffee so much, you must have many coffee cans left, if you don’t want to throw them away every time you use up coffee. Now they could come in useful, as there are six new uses for coffee cans. You can learn about it more or less.
1. Wine Rack
Use a can opener to remove the tops and the bottoms of multiple cans (here, 12). Spray-paint the outside of each. When they’re dry, glue them together with a strong adhesive (like Krazy Glue) in an artful, balanced way. (Binder clips can steady the cans until they’re dry.)
2. Votive Holder
Use a can piercer (the triangular end of a bottle opener) to punch holes in the sides of an empty can. Insert a votive and let the light shine through.
3. Paint Bucket
Pour that “Calypso Blue” in a can for slosh-free transport during touch-ups.
4. Plant Guards
Slide cans (with both ends removed) over garden seedlings to protect them from the elements.
5. Reader Tip: Puppy Trainer
Try filling a can with change and shaking it to distract your new puppy from mischief.

6. Reader Tip: Twine Storage
Poke a hole in the plastic lid and run the twine end through to keep a ball tangle-free.
