Crafty Home Staging Projects: Tin Can Alley

Are you selling your home? Getting your home "Market Ready" can be fun with these easy Home Staging craft projects.

Tin Can Alley

You'll Need:

  • Several Aluminum Cans (emptied and cleaned)
  • Tin snips
  • Sharpie marker, any color
  • Spray paint, in silver metallic
  • Work gloves
  • Tea lights

Here's How:

  1. Divide your can into four equal parts by drawing short vertical lines with your Sharpie around the lip of your can at quarter turns.
  2. Draw four petals evenly around the can, inside the lines you've marked.
  3. Cut off the rim of the can with the tin snips.
  4. Cut out your petals.
  5. Carefully bend the petals outward, so the can looks like an opening flower.
  6. Cover the petals with silver metallic spray paint.
  7. Make as many as you need to line your driveway or patio, and put a tea light in each one to light the way.
