DIY Monogram Tin Can
In my quest to repurpose all the tin cans lying around my house, I recently made this monogrammed creation.
Using some vintage paper, I wrapped the can and then used a print out of an E as my guide. I used rubber bands to hold my template around the can and began pounding holes around the outside of the letter with a hammer and nail. I thought the letter would stand out better if I used embroidery thread and weaved it in and out of the holes. This is now on my craft desk collecting odds and ends and looking pretty.

Such a cute idea! I’ve been saving tin cans for a project that I have in mind. I’m going to have to try yours too.

Thank you! Let me know how it turns out if you do it. :)
Wow! My mind is now swirling with ideas that you’ve inspired, thanks!
I think this would look cool if you left the tin can uncovered, too. I can see a version with red yarn or thread or something like that. Maybe One with a P for pencils, one with an S for scissors. I love it!
I love that idea Julie!
I love this idea…I will have to try it sometime. Really it is just so much cuter than typical scrapbook paper covering that I do!
Soooo cute, I need to try it, great idea about the holes
Very Inspiring I will be checking out your blog more !
