Here's an idea that has been seen before, covering cans to make vases or pencil holders. It's been done a million times, in a ton of different ways, sometimes it's cute, sometimes it's cheap looking, but this one caught my eye.
I like the colors, and I like it with flowers in it, but those things would all change if I made one.
As you will learn, I also like to reuse things for two reasons, I think it's neat to give the items a new life, and also because it tends to be cheap. I like the idea of using leftover scraps of materials from previous crafts to do something new. So far, I don't craft enough to have a lot of leftover, but I do tend to save most scraps, even if they are small. I just see potential in them, even if I don't know what to do with them yet.
I'm sure I post a few more covered can ideas like this on this blog, I know you are dying with anticipation. :)
