My only problem with the can mugs, is that the hot liquids would be twice as hot. Caution in the burn the mouth zone.

What kind of paint did you use. I want to make these really bad. Is there a particular kind of food safe paint that you used??

Most cans are also lined with BPA. Something to think about.

These would make adorable silverware/plastic ware utensil holders while on a picnic or camping. However I would be hesitant about using them to drink from, unless using food grade paint. They would be ideal for cold drinks however hot liquids would make the can itself very hot, therefore a chance of burning the lips/mouth. The design though is cute.
