Using Small Cat Food Tins for Deodorizing

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.

Cat food tins can also be decorated with gift wrapping paper, colored paper, or wallpaper. When decorating the tin cans, the person may want to consider which colors are in the desired location for the tin.

There are numerous craft objects that can be used to personalize the recycled cat food tins. Once the cat tins have been sprayed with enamel or covered in paper, the person may want to consider the craft and scrapbooking supplies they have. Small floral accents, decals, metal embellishments, foam shapes, and several common craft materials could be used to decorate the tins.

For areas that have strong odor, the person may want to put white vinegar in the cat food tin and place it in the area. Some cat owners use tins containing vinegar near the litter boxes.

Recycled cat food tins can hold cotton balls scented with perfume or pine cleaner. The cotton balls can also be scented with scented oils.

Using small cat food tins for deodorizing can be done by decorating the outside of the tins and filling them with potpourri. Potpourri may be made by adding a scent such as vanilla to pine cones or dried flower petals.

Decorated cat food tins can be used in holiday decor by matching the color of the enamel or other decorations with the holiday theme. The tins can hold seasonal potpourri.

Coffee beans are an excellent filler for recycled tins for people who enjoy the scent of coffee. After the coffee scent is no longer noticeable, the cat owner can often reactivate the scent by stirring the coffee beans and squeezing some of the beans open.

Cat food tins can be recycled as candleholders with a little care. Nothing flammable can be used to decorate tins used as candleholders. The tins must be placed on a heat-proof surface since the can may heat up when the candle is burned.
