"Caution"-
I learnt this the hard way, only use tins with ring pulls, the tins you manually open will
rip your fingers to shreds."
A good way to recycle food tins is to transform them into plant pots. Wash your tin out
and peel off the label. Carefully drill a hole in the base of your tin, (for water drainage)
measure up the circumference and choose your desired covering. (Old books with large
pictures from charity shops or car boots works wonders for craft projects) Finally, in a
well ventilated area cover the tin with spray mount and affix paper. Once dry, add soil
and pot your plant.
Alternatively you could use the tins for storing pencils, makeup brushes or utensils in
your kitchen. (no drilled hole in bottom of tin necessary)
