Which of you ever thinks, "I need a new can opener. Wonder which one is Mikki's favorite?" No, no, don't leave yet! There's possibly a cool by-product that comes from using this device!

| Smooth Edge Can Opener |
After purchasing a smooth-edge can opener only to find that it took the top of the can off by slicing it below the lip, leaving a wickedly sharp can AND lid, I resolved that this type of can opener was a fraud.
Later, a friend told me about her Pampered Chef can opener. She'd had it for a long time and really liked, so I purchased one too and have enjoyed using it for over a year now. The lids are sort of pried off, separating the lid from the can and leaving a truly smooth edge. It never touches the contents of the can, so there's no gunky buildup around the gear thingy. It's my favorite can opener ever, and it's not even electric!

Ooo! I have one of these can openers but I never thought about the craft potential!! I'll be saving my cans now!!!
I have to say those are some interesting craft ideas!
@Kristi: There's this twinge of excitement I get when I peel the label from a can I've just opened. What design wll be on the can? Will the metal be mottled or super shiny? Weird, I know, but talk bout a cheap hobby!
@Crack You Whip: Aren't they? The planter is so pretty without any added decoration. Does that even constitute a craft?
I really like the hanging planter! That is a cute way to reuse/recycle thanks for the idea.
