As we headed into lockdown it was impossible to buy a tin of tomatoes for love nor money so I’m guessing some of those stashed away cans must be getting used by now. So what are you doing with the empty tins?

Let’s kick off on familiar territory with a bit of home craft.

Eeugh – old tin lamp shades? Think again. I’m pretty inspired by these geometric downlighters from Oh Oh Deco.

Staying on the stylish home front, a smart organiser that’s far from trashy from Mountain Modern Life.

Great for the garden in summer, punched tin lanterns from A Beautiful Mess – just watch those fingers.

And of course there had to be a tin man in there somewhere! Charge up the drill and check out the ‘how to’ at Home Talk.

And just because it’s hard to beat quick and simple, I’m getting all nostalgic with some good old-fashioned can and string stilts.

Happy stomping, happy hooligans.
