5 ways to reuse a coffee can

Some of these ideas are better for tin coffee cans, while others would work with tin or the cardboard variety like the ones found at Trader Joe's. Anyway, here are five ways to use the can after you've emptied it of caffeine-fix contents:

  • leave a few beans behind and use as a dog training tool; shaking the can when your pet is up to no-good is a nearly fool-proof strategy.
  • use one or a few as flower pots or seed starter containers; you could even decorate them with paints or paper if you don't already like the design.
  • decorate with recycled wrapping paper and use them for baked gifts.
  • with two cans you can teach your kids that old-fashioned, low-tech game of telephone with string.
  • use it as a container for loose change (cut a slit in the lid to drop coins through), random nails and screws scattered on your tool bench or garden herbs that you've dried (the air tight container will be perfect to seal in aroma and flavor).
