I plan on using old tuna-fish cans to make Christmas gifts this year--any ideas?

[Gertrude]

I've been saving my tuna-fish cans for the last couple years, I have about 150-200 of them in my basement. I was wondering if anyone has any easy ideas for Christmas decorations and/or Christmas gifts I can make out of them? (These are the small 5oz cans.) I lost most of my money at the casino this fall, so I can't really afford to buy presents for my kids and grandchildren this year, hopefully some of you will share your craft ideas and I can make them something they'll really enjoy before the holiday hits!!Thanks!

Ok this does'nt really apply to your question. But I have to ask what made you save all those tuna cans in the first place?

cheap cheap.

Well if you are really serious. How about getting a piece of dowling, drilling some holes in the cans and hanging them by string to the piece of dowling, then you can make a musical instrument out of it. Perhaps try drilling various holes in the cans to alter the tone etc.

150 - 200 empty tuna cans, the definition of driving a cat insane.
