Many thrifty people enjoy reusing items that would otherwise become garbage. One simple craft activity that involves reusing items is using small cat food tins for deodorizing.
People decorating and reusing the tins, the cat food tins must be washed and dried thoroughly. The cat owner may want to spray the inside and outside of the cat food tins with spray enamel once the tins are completely dry.
The cat owner may want to consider the colors of the room in which the decorated cat tin will be placed when deciding on how to decorate the cat food tin. Wrapping paper, wallpaper, or colored paper may be used to wrap or decoupage the tin.
The cat food tins can be personalized with numerous different types of craft supplies. After the cat food tins have been sprayed with enamel or covered with paper, craft supplies such as floral accents, foam letters, buttons, or scrapbooking supplies can be added to decorate the outside of the tin.
The cat owner may want to place a cat food tin containing white vinegar in an area with strong odor. One of these vinegar-filled tins could be placed near the litter box.
A favorite perfume or pine cleaner can be added to cotton balls that are then placed in the cat food tin. Scented oils can also be used to add scent to cotton balls that are placed in the tins.
Using small cat food tins for deodorizing can be done by adding potpourri to decorated tins. Some cat owners like to add small pine cones to the potpourri.
Tins can also be decorated for holiday decor. Using green and red spray enamel with accents added with paint pens or acrylic craft paint can hold pine cones or holiday potpourri.
Whole coffee beans can be used as scented filler for reused cat food tins. The cat owner can squeeze and break some of the coffee beans to reactivate the scent once the coffee scent is no longer noticeable.
With a little care, cat food tins could also be used as candleholders. A scented votive candle can be placed in the cat food tin. The tin must be placed on a heat-proof surface since the tin can heat up when the candle is burned. - 29953
