Trick 17: What tin cans can do

Especially when things need to be done a little quicker in the kitchen, we appreciate tins: open, put the contents in the saucepan, heat briefly, done. And don't throw the cans away afterwards, simply reuse them cleverly.

You shouldn't just throw cans away!

Become a cutlery holder: Spray paint six empty cans. Take a thin wooden board, screw three cans lengthwise to the front and three to the back and use them as colorful cutlery holders.

Hang up pictures: The closure can also be put to good use, as it is quite robust. Fixed to the wall with a screw, you can easily hang even larger picture frames on it.

Growing herbs: Wash out tins well, leave to dry, fill with soil and herb seeds. Stick on cute labeling cards.
