Ideas you can make with cans is a beautiful idea is to turn them into simple lanterns. If you use larger cans, you may be able to find glass cups that are able to fit inside to protect the candles from the wind.
Materials:
- Milk or fruit cans
- Sand
- Paper and pencil
- Scotch tape
- Bag of sand
- Hammer
- Pliers
- Galvanized wire (2mm diameter)
- Newspaper
- Colored spray
Remove the label and any remaining adhesive on the can. Fill it with sand, water and put it in the refrigerator overnight.
Draw your design on a piece of paper that matches the size of the can and print. Tape to the can. If you've designed your own, make sure the space between the holes is at least as large as the diameter of each hole.
Place the can in the sandbag. Open the holes in the box based on the design. Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes after every 10 minutes of work to keep the can firm. If you want to make many holes, work with them alternating time.
Once the drawing is ready, open 2 holes (1 cm) diametrically below the mouth of the can to attach the handle. Remove the sand. Make the handle with 25 cm of wire.
Fill the can with newspaper and spray paint evenly. Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area or outdoors. Once dry, attach the handle. And that would be all.
