Sparkly & cute luminaries from a can.
To make these, you will need:


– clean, empty cans


– silver and gold spray paint


– screwdriver/awl


– mallet/hammer


– candles / fake candles


You might need :


– snow spray


– gloves


– painter mask


– paper towels


– decorative ribbon


1- Use sharpie to draw christmas image of your choice on a can


2- Fill empty can with water and freeze overnight.


3- Use awl (or screwdriver) and mallet (or a small hammer) to punch holes along marked line. Make holes around half cm (0.19 inches) apart.
4- Melt the ice.


5-Remove rest of the ice (if any) and wipe cans clean.


6-Start spraying !


I used golden spray to paint bigger can and silver spray to paint the small one.
I also used bit of snow spray to give silver can more frosty look.
8- Decorate (optional):


I attached decorative ribbon to the silver can, just to add a bit of contrast.


9- Put candle or fake candle inside the can and that’s it!



Happy Christmas Crafting :)
