Soda can:

Take off the tab for chainmail, chains, bracelets or pendants

Cut the bottom (circular indented part) to make pin buttons! You can use mod podge to seal a design on or just paint it, and hot glue a pin at the back.

The rest of the body can be cut and flattened and cut into shapes or glued into a sketch/scrapbook. You can also use it to make spikes/studs.

Take a pin and stab holes into a design! Put some fairy lights in the can and boom you have a cool lantern.

Plastic bottle

Take the cap and use it to make button pins, just hot glue a pin at the back (+ you can make a backing with a dot of hot glue if its not a safety pin)

If the bottle body has ridges you can make a textured stamp from it.

If the bottle has the plastic label you can take it off and put it in your sketch/scrapbook. You can also make a cool pin by cutting out the logo and gluing it to a hot glue backing (giant blob of hot glue, glue the logo to the flat side and cut around the logo, then add a pin)

Cut the top off the bottle/cut in half and you can use it for paint brushes, or plant something in it if you cut holes in the bottom

You can use the cap as a circular stamp

The cap and screw can be cut out to make connectors for cosplay/fursuits etc!

Thin cardboard (pasta boxes, cracker boxes, etc.)

Tear the seams of the cardboard and flatten it entirely. You can use this for maskmaking!

If the box has a little see-through plastic film, you can cut that out and use it for a shaker pin, or make a window for your sketch/scrapbook

Cut out shapes from the cardboard can be used in your sketchbook/scrapbook

Make a template/pattern design

Corrugated cardboard
