Tins, Cans, and Aluminum Metals: What Can I Do With Them?

DIYscene‘s Swap theme for October is Black and Metal. I usually craft with fabric, so this was a serious challenge for me! I immediately searched for anything that I could make with metal, which includes TONS of options, with a small amount of those including aluminum, tin, and copper. This purpose of this post is to help people with these metals do something unique and fun with them! And hey, you’re recycling!

Check out my previous Bottle Caps post to find out all of the fun things you can do with those!
