[ESP-ENG] Reciclando ♻️ latas de atún para construir organizador 💚✅👷

The work with recycling ♻️ is wonderful, it goes beyond the economic necessity of not being able to buy something and having to reuse. It is so important to be able to offer a second opportunity to benefit any object that we are about to throw away, because the benefit is not only personal, but also to our planet 🌍.

Everything you can recycle at home 🏡 is simply an advantage, a story to tell when that can, bottle, box, at some point had no use and today it is a decoration, a beautiful container, an organizer, in short, there are plenty of ideas to give life to these materials.

In this case I worked with some cans of tuna that I personally wanted to make into materials, however I was researching and this type of material is not so beneficial for plants 🌱, unless make it temporary, so, looking for ideas, I went to make an organizer for small items, which I really need. I explain how the process was and the materials used..✅

_{Procedimiento - Procedure}

_{Paso I-Step I📝}

The tuna cans are already completely clean, the next thing will be to make them decorative. You can use any material you have at home 🏡 to recover these containers such as: Acrylic paint, jute, wooden sticks, sackcloth or any type of fabric. In itself, there are many options, however I worked with a piece of synthetic leather that I had and ice cream popsicles made of wood.

_{Paso II-Step II📝}

The organizer will have two levels, for this reason two cans of tuna were used, both decorated differently, yet they complement each other. The first can was the protagonist, completely surrounded by wooden ice cream paddles cut precisely to measures 4.5 cm long, enough to reach each end of the can, secured with hot silicone ♨️.

It is not a difficult procedure, it simply requires patience when cutting the pallets one by one to the necessary measurements.

_{Paso III-Step III📝}

After having all the pallets secured around the can, it is time to cover the details, to do this, I took a piece of 1/2 cm elastic tape and placed it on the entire bottom edge of the container, that gave it a better finish.

_{Paso IV-Step IV📝}

The next thing is to put something more decorative on it, for this I got a white shoelace and tied it around the can, in the entire middle. I opened the tips of the laces to give a different and cute touch.

_{Paso V-Step V📝}

To complete the details of the 1st container, I added some types of legs with the same wooden pallets measuring 4 cm, so that the can would be detached from any surface, I loved that.

_{Paso VI-Step VI📝}

Inside the can I placed jute thread to cover the top edge, in the same way I added a circle of synthetic leather for the bottom.

_{Paso VII-Step VII📝}

The second can of tuna was easier to work with, I used an off-white synthetic leather, also with texture. This type of leather is secured with cold silicone or at least it works for me personally, because hot silicone not only does not seal, but it also leaves lumps in the leather inside that are noticeable.

_{Paso VIII-Step VIII📝}

Having the entire can covered, I dry the glue, I will add the details, for this container I decided to place a piece of jute thread in the middle, tying the two ends, and cutting off the excess.

Just like the other can on the upper inner edge, I placed jute thread to cover that exposed part, I also placed recycled synthetic leather ♻️ at the bottom.

_{Paso IX-Step IX📝}

To finish with this organizer, we join the two containers with a thicker ice cream stick on one side, using each end to place them. We secure with hot silicone. To maintain balance we glue another wooden pallet to the other side of the upper container.

If you look at the images, the cans are secured so that they do not trip over, nor do we when looking for an accessory above or below. That's wonderful.

This recovery of cans will be more than useful when it comes to storing tails, tendrils, carts of threads, adhesive tapes, it also holds papers, clips of all kinds, and in this sense I always have things like that everywhere, and when I need them I can't find them. This new organizer is really useful, also decorative for any shelf, room, office, it is super cute, stable, and as in most of my work, recover objects for new opportunities, contributing to the health ❤️‍🩹 of the planet 🌎.
