I always have these empty large tin coffee cans, because me and my husband go through a lot of coffee. I use some of the plastic ones with the built in handles to fill with water for my dogs to have extra water outside, because they have their water bowls inside.
Anyone have good sewing/quilting/crafting/etc. uses for these cans, and what other tips of things we can all use that we have around the house??
I look forward to all of your ideas/tips. Pictures are also nice.
I poke a hole in the lid and put string in them. When I work with more than one color yarn (I crochet) I keep yarn in them. I use a round file and smooth out the hole so the yarn slides easy. Been doing this for a long time. PS it works well for binding too... just cut a slot rather than a hole. I also drink a ton of coffee, and these cans are great~!
