Planters
Hi Karen. You can make lanterns out of your cans. You can even put holes in the cans to make designs or patterns. To begin, remove the labels from the cans. Then fill them with water and freeze them overnight. Next day, remove from freezer one can at a time. Use a nail and a hammer to make holes in the cans. You could spell out words or just make a design. Afterwards put them in the sink to melt the ice. At this point you can dry them and paint them if you want to. Then put a battery operated candle in them. You can use them inside or outside.
