    Thanks for sharing. This is a lovely collection of ideas.When we’re next at our cottage, I’m going to look for some birch bark from some fallen trees to make those beautiful, natural-looking vases.

    Love these ideas – I save loads of these and have wrapped quite a few in stunning wallpaper for pen pots. I have a couple on my desk at work even! I did lots of them for my sister too… all matching. Love the ones with herbs in, hung in the garden… must do these ones next!!

    Even just for storage alone, these cans are really purposeful! But put in a little bit more creativity and you can turn it into something so wonderful like those robots, for example. Thanks for these by the way!
