You can decorate the outer side of these DIY tin can flower pots using paint or wrapping paper.

(3) Ash trays:


People with smoking habits can also use tin cans to create ash trays by simple following this DIY idea. Rather than throwing away those cans, recycle them into a handy product. Cut most of the top of the tin can. You are left with the lower portion that has low walls. Cut 4-5 semi-circles on the sharp edges of the walls of the can. This creates the space where you can put your cigarettes on. There you have it, a free ash tray out of waste tin can.

The Coolest Built-In Bunk Beds (and DIY Brass Hardware) Christina is one of my favorite people. She is as kind, talented and gorgeous as the day is long. The last time I was in Arizona, I swung by her new house for a little tour. I’m going to beg her to let me share everything here on LGN when she’s finished (I’ll probably have to arm wrestle the editors at Elle Decor for it – it’s SO good!).

PS Christina shared a little tour of her twin da
