Salvaging tin cans is one of the most genius storage-saving hacks out there! After cleaning and drying out the cans, they can be painted or covered in almost any material to repurpose them. Salvaged tin cans are awesome for art supplies, paint brushes, kitchen utensils, and desk supplies, among hundreds of other uses. Our favorite hack is drilling holes in the bottom of clean tin cans and using them as planters - cheap and cheery.
As in the photo here, repurposed cans can also be an amazing storage-saving idea by hanging them up. They weigh next to nothing, and can often make a really gorgeous, eye-catching addition to an empty wall.
