Well, one of the most common household things that has the size of a can is toilet paper rolls, and they're also extremely cheap.  However, they're not stable for firearms and don't stay together, so they would be pretty ineffective.

Can type suppressors are typically made from  paper or aluminum cans, which are then capped and filled with expanding foam or foam.  As you know, foam can be made from common household products like egg white or carbon dioxide.  The advantage of a paper can suppressor is that it is cheap and easy to make.  And while a paper can suppressor doesn't achieve as much sound reduction as a silencer, it is an excellent first step for a person who is just starting out.  In fact, there are numerous YouTube videos showing how to make a can type suppressor in under ten minutes.  However, a paper can suppressor is more likely to crack and rupture, and not hold up well over time.  It's also likely to rust and leak.  Additionally, it can be hard to locate a paper can in a rural environment.  Overall, the paper can suppressor is not the most ideal type.
