He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himRecycling steel and white tin packaging, in addition to preserving precious material resources such as steel and tin, allows you to save 60% of energy consumption and reduce air pollution by 30% compared to their disposal and new production. Before delivering these precious packaging to the new path that starts from the blue bin, here are some ideas to keep them still with you, recovering them to a new life. Of course, the first and primordial call when we find an empty tin can in our hands, improvising ourselves as expert percussionists, is to play it; in fact, if you have children or if you want to amaze friends and relatives by trying your hand at an unusual session, with a little string and two jars you can give life, in a few minutes, to your very personal djambee. But if you don't have the musical mastery of a John Cage, the famous composer who in 1941 gave birth to "Third Construction", A score that involves the use of recovery tools such as pots of various sizes, car brake drums and of course tin cans, you could always resort to the advice of the Master Capone, 
leader of the BungtBangt and guru of street sound, which in his new project of Street Academy, How chaos sounds, with the cry of "let's make rubbish sing" on his website he proposes weekly lessons on how to build and play instruments starting from the recovery of the most unthinkable materials with a lot of video competition, selections and, for the most deserving, a final concert alongside of the teacher.
If music is not your forte or if you simply want to safeguard good neighborly relations, then here are other ideas, simple and certainly much quieter thanks to which you can embellish, organize and decorate your home and / or outdoor environments.
It is useless to suggest the idea of portamatite or jewel case obtained from simple tin cans decorated with imagination, instead create one wall system for the kitchen, for children's games or why not, for your laboratory do-it-yourself? Nothing easier! All you need will be a wooden panel, which will act as a supporting structure, and, obviously, some jars: drill one or two holes on the latter and fix them symmetrically on the panel with the help of screws and nuts. For decorations, you can opt for bare surfaces, colored paper, fabric scraps, decide for a little more meticulous decoupage or, why not, leave the labels intact with a wink to pop-art. The result, of sure effect, will leave even the most imaginative designers speechless. Using the same technique, then, with larger jars you can both create delicious magazine-rack o brings-everything fixing the bottom directly to one of the walls of your room or, using an external wall, create nice and colorful flower boxes like these in the photo.
Romantic and customizable are the outdoor candle holders which we can easily achieve with the smaller size jars. With the help of a nail, a little strength and a lot of delicacy (to prevent the tin from bruising) we can drill the surface following the design we like best; once this is done we just have to color, add a little sand to the bottom in order to make it easier to eliminate any wax casting, add a candle and ... enjoy the result!
