DIY: Tin Can Luminaries



Materials:

26-oz tin cans
Bottle opener
Work gloves
Hammer
Sharp nail
Terra cotta saucer
Votive candle

Remove labels, tops, and bottoms of 26-ounce tin cans. Use an old-fashioned beer can opener to make 
triangular holes around the perimeter of the top and bottom of each can. Wear work gloves and be careful with sharp edges.


With a hammer and sharp nail, carefully punch additional holes in a pattern on the surface of each can. Aim for a simple, stylized pattern.


Place each can in a terra cotta saucer with a votive candle inside.
