One way of recycling empty cans

The little cupboard in the kitchen is piling up with empty tins from my addiction of condensed milk, waiting for an idea to strike to breathe life into them again. Light bulb started blinking mad the moment I saw some nice printable designs.

Just as everyone in the neighbourhood snoozed their way into slumberland, I slaved away making measurements, photoshopping the dimensions required and off my printer went.

A bit of cutting here and sticking there, I've got myself a brand new set of stationary holder.
Wow.... fifteen minutes was all it took and I'm feeling contented, boy do I love recycling.

======================================================

More printable designs [here] if anyone's interested.

Ashes

Recycle, recycle, recycle. After a yummy mayo tuna and pickle sandwich, what can I do with the can? It looks to chrome and pretty to end up in the bin. Some cardboard, tape, and a candle later I've got a new ashtray. The letterings doesn't look as great coz it was cut out from magazines,.... I lost the driver for my HP printer and can't seem to find a working copy online, anyone has a copy?
The end product din't turn out as great,.... I was too afraid of burning my fingers.
