ok one more post cuz I just saw one on my bookcase……..you can make candle lamp holders from cans and a bit of wire as well. they spread light fairly well and are easy to make.
Fill your can 2/3 with water, and freeze it. Draw your pattern for light to show through with dots. Like a dot to dot picture on the outside of the can. Punch each dot thru in the can to the ice with a nail. Let the ice melt out. Put wire (a long handle is best if carrying while lit) thru for a handle, use desired candle and light it. 🙂 I painted my last one black with star patterns punched in it. a small can with a tea light for this one. Give it a try. 🙂
……..in a dire situation you could flatten them and use as a substitute shingles for a roof….I keep remembering more …. you are getting the ole brain going again. thank you!
