Film Canisters —

Well, there used to be a time when we all had them to spare and they were a popular topic on recycled messageboards all around the place, but what happens now that people are going digital? You might just have to buy them ?
Film canisters are becoming like gold, so make sure you choose a crafting project that’s worthy of these “endangered creatures.”
One fun little project that is totally practical is a miniature first aid kit, and the best thing is it does not destruct the canister, making this “Recycled Craft” project completely recyclable in itself … how frugal is that?
