I’m a Crafty Chick making Tin Can Clocks
I had this really cool coffee can that I have had for years, only because I like the graphics. I don’t drink coffee and have never tried this particular brand but, I just love the cool light green color so I decided to make a clock out of it. It is so easy, and only…
