So you have just finished your refreshing can of Coke-Cola and are probably going to put that empty can into the recycling. But what if you could repurpose it, upcycle it and turn it into something new? That would be better than recycling it and here are ten great things you can make with empty Coke-Cola cans…
Succulent Planter
You can put just about any small plant into the can as the tin will help keep the water in. Try making lots of them to add a touch of colour to a windowsill.
Mirror Frame
This mirror frame made with the branded part of the cans is not something everyone will be able to make, but I do think it looks pretty cool anyway.
Lamp
Not only is the bottom part of the lamp made with a Coke-Coka can, but the lampshade itself is made with ring pulls from other cans! Someone must have gone through a lot of pop to make this!
Bracelet
If you like to make your own jewellery why not turn some old Coke cans into a bracelet! Just make sure those edges are folded over and softened down.

Popcorn Maker
You might think this is a joke, but it really is easy to turn a coke can into a popcorn maker! Sure, you are not going to make a lot of popcorn with it, but it is possible.
Robot
While he won’t be helping you around the house this little robot will show off your craft and recycling skills and is sure to make someone smile when they see it.
BBQ Grill
There are times in life when a single sausage is all you want and for those times firing up a whole BBQ takes too much time. So why not make this Coke can one and use that!
Cannon
This is probably the most dangerous thing you can make with a can of coke, but it is also one of the most fun as well. To be honest, this is not something you should really try to make at home, but it is possible.

Earrings
You can try and make your own Coke can earrings, or you can buy this pair from the link below. If you love making your own jewellery the red of the cans make them look amazing.
Candle Holder
And we finish this post with what is probably the simplest thing you can make with an empty can of coke. Its a candle holder and if you can make it smell of Coke-Cole it would be well worth making.
