I have several cans about the size of a large coffee can and I have made a cute nic knack can out of them before but I was wondering if any one else has had useful ideas for recycling them.
paint it, tie a ribbon around it and use it to hold flowers on a shelf, pens/pencils/markers in an office, brushes in a bathroom, BBQ tools outside. If you have a lot of them, it might be cute to paint them outside and inside and line them up side by side in a couple of rows. Nail or glue them to a bulletin board, wooden board to make little cubby's to store toys or "stuff".
hmm...put rocks at the bottom & a couple of holes along w/ potting soil & make planters =) Might be a great idea for a preschool or kindergarden.
I use soup or vege cans for pencil/pen holders (label removed of course) & also glued a ribbon around a few & put plastic utensils in them for get togethers.
I've painted it and used it as a "gift box"...
a canister for kitchen utensils...
The kids love to decorate them with stickers and use them as drums...
A container for kid's toys, game pieces or small tools in the garage...
Here's a website I found

I've heard you can reuse them to seal food again but I'm not sure if that's true
Not sure it they could work for crafts at school but you can ask.
