I found a video with the caption, “12 Crazy Beer Can Redneck Life Hacks” so of course I checked it out. And, honestly, who knew that a beer can was that versatile.
So, thank you Jimbo The How To Dad, for the following gems:
1. Don’t have any dryer sheets left? Easy. Just toss an empty beer can in the dryer. It gets rid of all the static electricity, too.
2. How about a beer can lantern? Basically, you cut two wings in the can so there’s room inside for a candle. The light bounces off the reflection on the sides, plus it’s shielded from the wind on the back. (Extra points because it’s so romantic.)
3. Using a can opener, remove the top of the beer can, and the edges should be smooth. Now you have yourself a beautiful vase, or a toothbrush holder.
4. Did you know you can break into a padlock with a beer can? Redneck Dad made it look pretty easy too. All you have to do is a cut a thin piece of can, so it can shimmy down into the padlock. Then you turn it a bit, and the lock will pop open.
