Aluminum can - application possibilities

Advertising calls it the most civilized container in the modern world. It is well utilized and is one hundred percent friendly to the environment. But do not rush to throw it into the garbage - let's talk about how an aluminum can be useful in everyday life.

For any home master and simply a creative person, an empty can of beer or soda is a valuable raw material. You just need to remove the extra parts, decide on the form - and in the use of containers will open the widest opportunities. Especially it concerns an aluminum base - a sheet of strong foil, which can be obtained by cutting off the bottom and top of the can, and then unfolding the middle. But we will be interested in the bank, first of all, as a metal container, which means it is strong and durable.

The possibility of storing different products and trifles gives us an aluminum can if you cut off the top cover. It is convenient to do this with a can opener, which will unravel an uneven edge. So you will not cut yourself either with the improvement of the bank, nor with its further exploitation.

Now about where you can use the resulting capacity. Yes, anywhere: it's an excellent container for cosmetics, office supplies, loose products, sewing supplies, trivia for a rainy day, all sorts of bolt-nuts and so on. But there are several more original options.

Aluminum can is the perfect base for a beautiful and simple lamp, which can be done in a couple of minutes. And, the design not only at home, but also on the nature, romantic sit-rounds or in a noisy friendly company is useful. To make such a luminaire you will need an aluminum can with a cut lid, a needle or an awl and an ordinary paraffin candle. Shilom need to pierce holes in the jar (placing them in the form of a specific inscription, picture or even some constellation). When you later put the candle inside, you will get a very beautiful lamp. If it is used on the street, pre-weight lightweight aluminum containers by pouring in small pebbles or sand.

And you can make an original and humane mousetrap. In one bank we cut out the top, and also take the bottom of another same can. Its diameter should be less than the cut out hole. We have this "cap" so that it opens only inside the can and fix it. We put in the jar any fragrant bait and leave it near the mouse mink. When the rodent wants to eat and climb inside, he can not get out of the mousetrap, because the lid does not open outward.

In an economy, an aluminum can serve as a section of a fairly solid pipe. Cutting the bottom and the top, and docking a few cans (they are connected ideally), we reach the desired length of the pipe. And you can attach the resulting structure to anything, though with an ordinary tape. Although the special sealant will make the pipe still impenetrable.

So, if in your house an aluminum cans are littered, do not rush to flatten it and throw it into the trash!
