Can Candle Holders

What to do:
Step 1: Clean the can/s well and remove and sharp edges. To make a consistent design, we printed a page full of dots and then cut a strip to wrap around each can, securing lightly with tape. You can make any design you prefer on the can.

Step 2: Slip the can over the wooden shaft and secure the can using the vice grip. To make the holes for the light to shine through, tap with a nail and hammer, or drill your desired pattern. Remember to make two holes on either side for the handle.

Step 3: Spray paint and allow to dry completely before using the wire to make a handle.

What you need:
1. Recycled aluminium can/s
2. Long nail if using a hammer
3. Rust-Oleum spray paint in your choice of colour
4. Wire for the handle
5. Tea light candles
TOOLS:
1. Hammer or drill / driver
2. Wooden shaft (for positioning the can securely)
3. Vice grip makes the job easier

This project takes about 15 minutes per can and costs around R80 if you use Rust-Oleum 2X spray paint

Estimated time needed: 45 minutes plus drying
