TINTASTIC! Here are some creative ways to re-use tin...

These items are Fair Trade and are made in the South African tradition of making crafts from recycled materials, such as discarded wire and tin cans gathered from taxi stands and bus stations, incorporating beads in their designs.

As the demand has grown for such items, apprentices have been trained in the art of weaving tin, paying them a fair price for the products that they produce. The training and production provides a sustainable income for a growing number of young people in Cape Town.

Unsuitable for young children.
