Roundup: 10 Tuna Can Craft Projects

by on Jul 26, 2013

Tuna/cat food can crafts might not be as popular as Mason jar crafts these days, but with inspiration and how-to’s like these, it might just be a matter of time before they eclipse the latter. 

We’ll start with these two darling pin cushion ideas. The first one is from Sewcraftlicious

Camilla looked at a tuna can and saw a heart, which can serve as a sweet trinket bowl.

I featured this planter/votive idea a while back here on Curbly. Still LOVE them.

 Couple a tuna can with a Starbucks Frappuccino bottle and you have a bird feeder.

And, finally, one that has absolutely nothing to do with decor, but it was too freakin’ cool not to include in this roundup. Mike used a tuna can to make a Sterling Engine. An ENGINE. Take that Mason Jars!!
