I have used this idea many times. Not just with cans. One thing I would like to add is how to make 'subdividers'. Many products come in oval type plastic bottles (shampoo, for example). I have cut these in half and used 2 (side by side) slipped into a slightly larger container to divide the space. I have used even more in large containers (like coffee comes in) to organize the contents. (pens, pencils, scissors, markers, etc)
