    The smashed cow craft out of cans is so cute. There are so many fun and interesting ways to recycle cans that I would never have thought about before.

    We make pencil holders with cans by covering them with felt fabric and design. And an empty pork and beans can with a couple of coins in it makes a great story telling prop. Nice lens. I like your crafts and material topic choices.

    I use a tuna can for cutting English muffin dough into the perfect size.
    My daughter has wrapped craft foam around a nicely shaped can to make a pencil holder for dad.

    I've also had my kids use an awl to punch holes in small tomato sauce cans. Then we inserted a homemade candle (We poured the wax inside an empty eggshell) and voila, a lovely tealight!

    Now I'm gonna go dig some cans out of the recycling and make a Christmas Tree!

    :D
