Soda Can Vase or Cup!



 Turn soda cans into cups or vases!

You will need:
  • empty soda can(s)
  • can opener
  • spray paint & greenery (optional)

Run the can opener round the mouth of the can, just like you're opening any other can. Wash away any soda residue. If you're using the can as a cup, presto! You're already done!


 To turn it into a vase, spray the cans with  a couple coats of paint. Add some greenery (or in my case, fake greenery! Seasonal allergies strike again!).
An easy re-purpose with so many re-use possibilities!


Shared this idea at these fabulous parties!

    What a neat idea. I couldn't tell they were originally soda cans, at all! :)

      I used the Krylon Color Master spray paint (Indoor) in Gold/Metallic! The gold looks a little copper-ish in certain lighting.
