Custom Tin Lanterns

I came across this idea and thought it would be a great way to light and decorate. These lanterns are candle lit and are sooo fun!

First you'll need:

- Assorted tin cans that have been washed inside (remove the labels if you want, or keep them on for a more edgy effect)

- A black marker
- A towel
- Safety goggles (if you feel needed)
- 5-in-1 Hammer and 6-in-1 Screwdriver (with small phillips head attached) OR a large sharp nail

Instructions:

1. Fill your tin cans with water and place them in the freezer until the water has frozen.

2. Draw designs on your tin cans using your black marker. Simple designs are the easiest to punch out. Alternatively, if you're keeping the labels on, use the outlines on the existing design as your guide

3. Roll out a large towel. Place your can in the middle of the towel, and roll either side of the towel towards the can. This will form a protective barrier, which will prevent the tin from moving around too much.

4. Put on your safety goggles and begin to punch out your design, using your Pretty Useful 5-in-1 hammer and 6-in-1 screwdriver to make different holes of different shapes and sizes.

5. Let the ice thaw, until the can is empty

6. When thawed, dry the tin cans and place 1" to 2" of sand in the bottom.

7. Anchor a tealight candle in the sand and light it using a long match.
