DIY Tin Can Lanterns
Materials you will need for your DIY tin can lanterns: Cleaned out tin cans with labels removed Tea light candles Pliers Sharpie Power drill (No drill? a hammer and long nail will also work) Spray paint.
DIY Tin Can Lanterns
Step 1: Use the pliers to flatten any sharp edges on the inside rim of your tin cans. Step 2: Draw the designs you wish to create onto the outside of each can. Draw a dot everywhere you would like to put a hole, this will make the drilling/hammering easier.

Step 3: Carefully drill out your designs. If you are using a hammer and nail we recommend wearing gloves and using clamps to keep the cans in one place.

Step 4: In a well ventilated area spray paint the inside of each of your cans. Step 5: Once dry, pack the inside of each can with newspaper/paper towels/napkins. This will prevent the exterior color from dripping into the inside of your lanterns. Step 6: Turn your cans upside down and apply an even coat of spray paint to the outside and bottoms. This may take several coats.
