Don’t throw away tuna cans, at home they are worth their weight in gold: how to reuse them

Instead of throwing away empty tuna cans, consider repurposing them in unique ways around your home. Tuna is a popular, nutritious food high in Omega 3s, but don’t toss away the can once you’ve finished eating. Here are some ingenious ways to repurpose them.

  • Flower pots: “Did you know that you can make flower pots with empty tuna cans?” Simply place clothespins around the outside, and small plants such as succulents will fit well.

  • Candle Holders: Follow the same steps to make “pretty candle holders,” inserting clothespins inside the can and inserting a candle in a glass for a sophisticated finish.

  • Kitchen Molds: Clean cans can be used as “molds for single-serving stews” or sweets like puddings.
  • Kids’ Crafts: Decorate and hang cans from a string to create “fun crafts for children,” such as a rattle or wind chimes.

With a little imagination, empty tuna cans can become a “truly valuable resource for your home.”
