Creative Ways to Recycle Your Tin Cans
Today is National tin can day! Who knew?
Did you know the reason we have the tin can today is because Napoleon held a competition to see who could make food last longer in the army? The troops were getting weak due to lack of food, and hence in 1810 the tin can was patented.
Another fun fact is that steel and aluminum cans are one of the easiest materials to recycle. So before you toss them… here are some ways to help out the environment and make your life a little easier.
1. An easy solution for organizing crafts.
2. This could be a fun project for your kids to display in their bedrooms. 
3. Grow your own herbs in this DIY herb garden. Find out how here.

5. Up-cycyle your tin cans into light pendants. DIY with these steps here.
Happy Tin Can Day!
