Morph an iced tea can into décor so chic - it's hard to believe this was 'trash'

When it comes to finding the perfect home decor, the process can be daunting and expensive. However, with a bit of frugal creativity, you can make your very own decorations that are not only unique, but can be crafted with nothing more than a tin can.
Forget spending hours in a department store looking at decorations you've seen before. Instead, bust out a hot glue gun and get to work! Before you throw out your next can, let's take a look at what you could turn them into:
