To get the top of the can off, I use a regular, handheld can opener like one might use for canned veggies or tuna. Works like a charm!

Yes a regular can opener will work. I have found that it can chew up the can sometimes but usually that doesn't matter. Thanks for watching 😊

TFS! A quick tip on removing the tabs, if you rotate them all the way around and push the larger end into the can opening you can remove the whole tab including the little ring that connects it to the can lid. I started doing that in case I wanted to use the little ring in design elements and to avoid the sharp edges produced when wiggling/snapping them off.

When I’m cutting up my tin cans, especially getting the bottoms & rings ready to use, I slip on my silicone finger protectors. I bought them for hot glue but thought how practical & protective they would be for using when I’m working with aluminum cans. They work just great. I bought a pkg with three different sized for $0.86 cents from temu. Amazon prices are a lot more.

Thanks for the tip. I don't have a problem working with the aluminum cans but I have been known to injure myself with my glue gun. 🙂

This is an excellent tutorial. Upcycledesign Labs is ALWAYS my go-to whenever I have a question about tin can crafts! 👏👏👏👏👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. One question though- do you have a tutorial on how to make those adorable little tin containers with the tops & handles? I looked through your list of uploads but couldn’t find one. ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

What do you do with the little squares you tear off the rings? Have you tried embossing or engraving the metal with your cricut? Done anything with steel or plastic jugs or bottles? The bottoms would make a great oversized pocket watch or locket. I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm a compulsive maker, but buying supplies when we have so much packaging seems very wasteful and unimaginative. You've encouraged me to resume my experiments. Thank you.

Hi Rebecca nice to meet a fellow upcycler. So far I am sad to say I have thrown away the pieces of can from the rings. I haven't tried embossing but I did a little experimenting with the Cricut engraving tool. I haven't made much from plastic jugs or containers but I have made a lot of projects from tin cans. Thanks for watching and commenting.

They make can openers that cut on the side of the can. Maybe that would help with the rings if you do it while the lip is still on the can

I honestly don't see any point whatsoever in using a draft top can opener. What's the purpose of it if you cut the upper part with scissors an inch below the can shoulders anyway? Plus (or minus) the can top opener is not cheap.

Hi I like to use the draft top because I use the metal rings from the cans in some of my projects. If you don't want to use that part of the can then you don't need to remove the top. 🙂
