Recycle Craft: Coffee Can Drums!
I’ve been saving coffee cans for a while now with no real goal in mind as to what I was going to do with them. I used a few as planters and organizers but still had quite a few left. Today I came across an idea that involved upcycling coffee cans into kids drums. This came at a great time considering my 8 year old son asked for some drums yesterday. 
When I told him about our plans to convert coffee cans into drums he was thrilled and ready to get the job done!
Below you will find a step by step very easy tutorial on turning a coffee can into a drum. The supplies needed are also listed below along with several photos we took of the recycling craft process. I hope YOU enjoy this craft as much as we did!
