Tin can Crafts for Valentines Day
With a simple tin can and some art supplies you can make a beautiful craft for Valentine’s Day. Make sure to gear the project to the age of the crafter. Try the following ideas to make a beautiful piece.
Tin can vase
Valentine’s Day is about flowers for many people, and a tin can will work well for this. You can turn it into a vase where they can keep beautiful fresh flowers. The first step in any craft will be to thoroughly clean the tin can. You do not want any residue of food if it was used for that purpose. If it has a label, you can peel that off as well. Dry the tin can. Take your can and use glue to attach white, red or yellow construction paper to the outside. You can then paint beautiful images for Valentine’s Day like hearts, cupids, roses or whatever else you want. You can use markers, colored pencils or crayons to write special sayings such as “Be mine” and “I love you.” You can cut out different shapes in colored pieces of paper to glue on it. You can glue other embellishments like crystals, glitter, rhinestones and even dried flowers. Use your imagination to create something beautiful.
Tin can plant pot
You can make a pot for a plant in much the same way that you made the vase above. You can decorate it how you want. You may choose to put a liner on the inside if you want too. You can place in the dirt and a plant, or you may be able to find a plant in a plastic pot that you can just slide right into it for ease.
Valentine’s Day pencil holder
Many people could use a holder for their pens and pencils, and the right sized tin can will work perfectly for this. You can decorate it with the art supplies listed above. If you would like you can use paint, markers or other art supplies to write out what it is or give personalization such as “Monica’s Pencil Holder.” You can decorate it both with a Valentine’s Day motif such as flowers and hearts as well as images related to its use such as pens and pencils.
There are many wonderful Valentine’s Day crafts that you can do with a simple tin can, a few art supplies and your creativity. A tin can vase, plant pot and pencil holder are just a few that may work well for you or as gifts on Valentine’s Day.
