If you are wondering if you should drink a lot of beer to collect enough cans for these DIY projects, I would advise you to not reference this article as an excuse for your increased beer consumption.

However, you might invite some friends over for a beer night so that you won’t overwork your liver. 

Wait, I’m giving you an excuse to drink.

You could also ask your neighbors and friends for some empty cans that are just stored in their homes. This way, you won’t have to spend on beers for their cans.

This article lists three DIY projects with soda cans and beer cans that can be used as accessories or room decor.

Get your craft kit and be careful not to get cut by the cans’ edges.

Earrings? From soda or beer cans? Why haven’t we thought about this ourselves, right?

Well, if you want to do how it was done, you could read about it here.

However, if you want to make your own version of these earrings, you can do so using the following steps:

  1. Cut the entire body of the can that is made of thin material using a box cutter. After cutting, clean it with soap and water and wipe with dry cloth. Set it aside.
