Beer Cans - Other Uses?

#1

Post by zoinkss »

I have been out of commission for a while and am still healing. Managed to make the Bull Frog Super Bowl show. It was great seeing such a big crowd there.
Found an ad on Craigslist I just had to share and open a new thread; we have all seen the past uses of Beer Cans such as bobbers, lamps, throne like chairs. A guy locally is selling Bird houses made from gallon cans. Anyone else have any crafty uses for beer cans that don't sell?

Are those re-purposed cymbals he is using for the top on two of the birdhouses?
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

I have seen a seller doing well who cuts the tops off of straight steel cans, plants decorative cactus in them and then sells them left and right at the local antique/shabby chic foofoo store in town for a tidy profit.

Some great craft and art out there. Does anyone have a pic of the White Horse Chair? Back in the 70s we made a couch and a chair out of our empty bottle cases. Never took a pic. Wish I had.
