It's springtime! and to freshen up my home with little cost, I wanted to upcycle a tin can. This springtime tin can is the size of a soup can and has transformed into a cute can for silk flowers or a holder for markers.

How much did it cost to make this Springtime Tin Can?

The cost of this project wasn't much. I had to buy the felt, and that was about $4.00 for all the felt.

How long did it take to make this upcycling craft project?

It only took me about 1 hour to make this craft project.

How did I make this Springtime Tin Can Recycling project?

First, cut the pieces of felt for the inside and outside of the soup can. They will be different lengths because the inside is smaller than the outside. Also, trace the bottom of the can onto the back of the felt. Cut it a little smaller so it will fit flat inside the can. Cut the ribbon to the perimeter of the soup can.

Make sure the top and bottom of the felt measure the same as the height of the can's top and bottom.

Then, using hot glue, add a little glue to the can and attach the felt around the can. Add hot glue as you go. Let cool for a few minutes

Now, add the circle to the inside of the tin can. Add hot glue behind the felt.

cut in a circle the flower felt and then hot glue to the bottom inside of tin can.

Then using the hot glue, add the ribbon around the top edge of the can covering the top part of the felt. And add enough hot glue to help the ribbon lay flat. Let cool.

Now, it's time to add the felt to the inside of the can. First, take the felt and roll it with the backside out to add to the inside of the can. Add some hot glue to the ribbon top and on the sides as you adhere the inside felt flower side out to the inside of the can.

Add hot glue to the inside of the can to adhere the felt to the inside of the can.

To add the pink ribbon at the bottom, I waited for the felt to dry so I could handle it. Then, with some hot glue, I added a bead of glue.

Tips on making this Springtime Tin Can Recycling Idea.

Below are some tips that will help you make this upcycling project a success.

  1. Make sure the can is clean and dry on the inside and out. Any glue should be removed before adding the felt.
  2. Each can is different, so measure the felt and cut appropriately to your can. Sorry, I can't be more detailed on sizing.
