Tin Can Pumpkins

Tin Can Pumpkins

Howdy! If you have a pet, you probably have some pet food!

Tin Can Pumpkins

I like to mix a teeny bit or wet into my dog’s dry food, and then I rinse out the cans and save them.

Tin Can Pumpkins

I’ve been daydreaming about what I can do with all these cans! And with Halloween coming up next month, a whimsical idea struck me: Tin Can Pumpkins.

Supplies: Small tin cans, orange spray paint (I used Design Master in Orange), a Crop-o-Dile or large hole punch, a 1 1/2 inch round circle punch, orange scrapbook paper, a pumpkin paper punch (I used one from Martha Stewart– you could also just hand draw pumpkin faces), black vinyl, glue dots and green twine (mine is Recollections from Michaels).

Tin Can Pumpkins

Step 1: Clean and dry the cans and punch two holes in them, about an inch apart. A Crop-o-Dile works well for this but a large hole punch would also do the trick.

Step 2: Spray paint the cans orange

 Step 3: Use a the circle punch to make the round pumpkin shape

Step 4: Use the Martha Stewart Pumpkin Punch to make the face or just draw the face on the orange circle.

Step 5; If using the punch and vinyl, apply the vinyl and use Glue Dots to add the face to the tin can.

Step 6: Cut a piece of green twine and loop through the holes, tying inside the can.

    Don’t have any dog/cat food cans but do have some tuna cans so will see if those will work. This is so cute and so easy. I’ll be making some of these to give to daughter/family. No trick or treaters at our house but they have lots and 2 teenagers, would appreciate this. Maybe youngest grand daughter would like to help me make the faces. Great project, glad you shared this. Happy Fall
