Do you collect empty coffee cans? Want a clever idea to recycle them?

Won't this look pretty on your end table in the living room?

1. Stunning

Solid as a rock too...no one can say that baby's top-heavy...

3. I love the idea that you use fabric

so you don't lose the texture of the cans underneath. You look at that lamp and you think: "That lamp is made of cans."

2. look doofus

those are obviously JUICE cans, not coffee cans. Coffee wouldn't work there, everyone knows that. But juice? that's a horse of a different colour.

I'm beginning to suspect that you may be a freeper...

4. Coffee cans would work just as well

and wouldn't attract roaches. :thumbsup:

PS: You'd have to use three or four instead of two, of course.

7. oh sure,

I mean I guess, perhaps, if you were really desperate, you COULD use coffee cans, but nothing's gonna keep them roaches out of your trailer!

I don't know why, but this obsession with coffee cans and roaches seems to be the way you people communicate...

[BurtWorm]

8. D'oh!

:evilfrown:

I-I meant...marijuana roaches. Yeah! That's the ticket!

5. Coffee cans make great

emergency urinals/barf canisters for your car! :hi:

[BurtWorm]

6. You can use them that way in your living room too.

You just have to remember which lamp it's okay to throw up into.

11. You must have some wild parties

Do people put the shade on their head before retching? ;)

9. I use them to dispose of grease

whenever there's a lot of leftover grease in the pan, like bacon grease or grease left from the fry-daddy. I hate to pour the grease down the drain, so I pour it into a can, put the lid on it, and throw it away.

10. They make good chamber pots

12. It's best just to throw garbage in the trash can
