The "beautiful and sustainable" concept is increasingly used nowadays. This is the case with decorated cans, which are resistant materials with a lot of potential for great projects.
When there is a concern with the environment, we realize that reusing materials is important even when it comes to decorating, which is why the idea of customizing the cans we use every day is more interesting than simply buying new items.
All it takes is a little creativity to personalize these objects and turn them into beautiful pieces for the home. Check out some tips for decorated cans:
1. colorful garden
The more colors, shapes, and textures you mix, the better the result.
2. feed the birds
Besides the concern with the environment, you can reuse cans to feed and shelter the little birds that pass by your house!

You only need multi-purpose spray paint to coat the can, black contact to make labels to identify the spices, and some kind of string, or ribbon, for the finishing touch.

Tins decorated with a crocheted cover (in this case, the maxi crochet technique was used) can become a wild card in your home.
5. rope holder
Braided, brightly colored ropes are on the rise, and you can use them to give your home a more modern look.

7. drawing time
You know that messy corner where the kids draw? A decorated can organizes it and makes the space more fun.
8. colored ball
Colored balls are always a fun option for decoration. In this case, you can also leave the lid of the cans for a more stripped down look, just make sure that the material won't hurt someone (a tip, for this case, is to sand the tips of the lid).
9. improvise the chairs from home
Add padding to the paint cans for beautiful pouffes. The idea can be more raw, like the one in the photo, or more elaborate, if you prefer to decorate the cans more.
