Everywhere in everyday life, we are surrounded by various things that we use for needs, which is dictated by society. But what if you try things whose use is limited, use differently? This will lead to something interesting and original. The article will focus on the informal use of cans. Usually, jam, pickles, compote and other preservation are stored there. After we have used this, the jar goes on vacation until the next conservation or is thrown away. But there are many variations of its application.
Decorating glass jars with your own hands for a similar decor is quite simple. You can use cans of any shape here.
It is necessary to beautifully design the surface of the can and put a candle or a wireless light bulb inside.
Here are examples of decoration that are most suitable for this product:
the use of paints for painting on glass (it will look beautiful if you make several candlesticks of different sizes);
decoration in decoupage format (glue the jars with napkins with an interesting pattern);
paste the jar with various old photographs or newspaper clippings;
wrap the jar with thread or straw;
glue the jar with lace, cloth or a bright ribbon;
the use of aerosols as paints (before painting, you should stick a silhouette made of paper on the jar to give a pattern to the future night lamp);
stained-glass window design (involves the use of contours and stained glass paints);
There is a complex, but beautiful design option banks. You will need brushes and special paints that have the function of accumulating light. On the inner side of the glass jar we apply stains of paint of various shapes and colors. We give time to the jar to dry the paint.
After we bring the product to the lamp for a few minutes. The paint is saturated with light, and you get an interesting night light effect with bright and saturated colors.
Jar for kitchen needs
After the main use, you should not throw out small cans, because in the kitchen they will be simply irreplaceable. You can store cereals in them, as is usually done and use them as containers for cutlery. You can use these vessels for napkins.
Decorating cans for these needs is not too different from the previous one. Therefore, use the ideas that we considered above. Here you will no longer need candles or light bulbs. If you use jars to store cereals, it is better to leave a small “window” through which you can quickly determine which cereal is in the bank.
If you use a jar for storing spices, then after using the spices in sachets, you can cut out the name of the spice and stick it to the jar. This will simplify the process of determining the spice, and give aesthetics and rigor.
Glass jar photo frame
Such experiments are far from suitable for all styles, but they can safely decorate a room. To make a jar-photo frame with your own hands, stick the photo inside upside down. Press firmly against the wall of the jar, and fix in small pieces of adhesive tape. You can stick a few photos, placing it in the center of the room to have an overview of all the photos.
You can paste over empty glass with something discreet, so as not to interrupt the view in the photo. You can paint the jar with ordinary paints or apply any of the above design options, leaving room for photos. It can make an interesting collage.
Tin Vase
This version of the product has several advantages over conventional vases. Firstly, unlike ordinary vases, it does not fight. Secondly, its cost is less. Thirdly, it is not inferior in beauty. However, there is one significant drawback - in such vases it is worth being careful in watering the flowers, because there is nowhere to pour out excess water due to the lack of holes below.
To make such a vase, you need to tear off the top of the can, which has sharp edges after opening. Use a heavy object to bend the remaining sharp edges of the can or cut it with a sharp knife. After that, the creative process remains. You can color the jar or wrap it with burlap. Now you can use the product as a vase.
Jars for little things
There are a lot of small things in the room, on the balcony or corridor, which are constantly lost somewhere due to unwillingness to buy special storage tins. Why not make small coffee cans out of shape?
Coffee tin cans
In order not to scatter jars around the rooms, we offer, before decorating, to fasten them. Put four small jars in a square, glue each with tape, and then all together. You will receive a small portable box to store small items.
After technical actions, glue the jar with a beautiful cloth, leaving its upper part, on which the lid is put on, open. Having distributed the small items in the jars, close the lids and stick to each inscription that will indicate what is in the jar.
Mugs
Such a decision will amaze anyone who decided to come to a party. But you need to try to make the banks come out really colorful. If you have a favorite cocktail, then you can prepare the cans by filling in the colors of the cocktail itself.
Stencils with the names of drinks are welcome. An unusual form of serving can accompany even a tea ceremony. Despite the fact that banks are not used for these purposes, they, like glasses or mugs, are convenient for these purposes.
If you want to work, then, knowing the list of guests, you can make a stencil of the names of each guest by transferring it to the bank.
Decorating cans with salt
If you don’t care about practical application, but the desire to make something beautiful remains, decorating cans with salt is for you. Many of you have seen Abkhaz or Georgian spices sold in vessels where colors change from one to the other.
We will do the same with salt in banks. The question arises: how is it, is all the salt white? Now you can find salt of various colors. Moreover, it can be consumed - food coloring is used there.
Buy several varieties of salt (by color) and pour in layers into a jar.
Layers are about two centimeters long. Repeat colors after the entire “palette” is over. Put on top of the burlap, and tie a thread, tying a bow.
You can put such a decoration anywhere. Make about 5-6 such jars of different sizes, and arrange them like a nesting doll. Use all the creativity on similar products. Do not worry about what may not work. This hobby has exclusively amateur roots, so any crafts will be perceived by others with a bang.
Experiment to unlock your creativity. Only in this case, decorating cans from an evening class can turn into a small business that will delight others. Your home will turn into a more comfortable room, filled with handicrafts that give a wonderful atmosphere of comfort. It is very easy to teach children such a hobby.
This is absolutely not costly, but also really carries away, because the whole creative the child will direct to make something incredibly beautiful stylish out of the everyday thing that he sees every day. Perception will reveal the essence of this activity, which will certainly help you.
