Tutorials

Welcome to the Do It With Cans tutorials and blog centre! 

We have a combination of blogs and ‘how to’ guides to help you deal with both small and larger DIY projects in the home. 

We’ve also created some wonderful guides on how to create both useful and beautiful items for your home using old tin cans in a variety of sizes.

We are working on creating more of these guides so please get in touch if you have a project you need help on as we will use these ideas to write more useful DIY blogs for you!
