Tin Can Lanterns Tutorial


Tin Can Lanterns Tutorial




I love summer and I love that I finally have a backyard to have parties in! I made these tin can lanterns for a 4th of July party and they looked so lovely that I thought I would write a tutorial to share with you all. 


So follow the tutorial below to get started making your own lanterns for your own outdoor summer party!




This tutorial is property of Elise Engh: Grow Creative (http://www.lightingole.com/) Please do not reproduce without permission! This is copyrighted material.

Materials:
recycled tin cans
hammer
nail
bailing wire
pliers
spray paint ( I used Krylon Indoor/Outdoor Paint)
tea light candle

Step 1: Remove labels and glue from the cans. I've found WD-40 to be very helpful with removing the glue. 

Step 2: Fill cans with water and stick them in the freezer. Leave them in until the ice is solid. This helps the can hold its shape for the next steps.


Step 3: Take your frozen can out of the freezer. Using a hammer and nail, pound a hole near the top of the can. Flip the can over and make another hole straight across from the first hole. These will be used for the handle later on.



Step 4: Make your design. Use the hammer and nail to start punching out a design in your can. You can draw it our before hand or wing it. Either way, they turn out nicely.





Step 5: Once your design is all finished, let the ice melt out of the can and dry it out.



Step 6: Upon turning the can over, you'll notice a big bulge in the bottom. This comes from freezing water in it. But, it can be fixed! Just pound it down with a hammer so that it sits flat.



Step 7: Time to make a handle. Cut a 12 inch strip of bailing wire and curve the end of it to form a hook. Stick the hook through one of the top side holes.
Step 8: Twist the hook around to secure it. Make a hook on the other end of the wire. Stick it in the side hole on the other side and twist it around. There's your handle!



Step 9: Time for some spray paint! Paint several coats on to cover the entire outside of the can and handle. 


Step 10: Once the paint is dry, insert tea light candles and light them up! You're all ready to go!

Reader Tips: 

said...To keep the bottom of the can from bulging out, put 2 or 3 inches of water in the can and let that freeze, then top off the can and freeze again.
 said...... avoid to make holes in the bottom inch of the can. When your candle melts and the holes are made too close to the bottom, the wax will pour out.
said...If you have a dremel tool or any kind of flexible shaft, you can use a burr or a very small metal drillbit and you will not need the ice.
said...fill your can with sand prior to adding the water and placing in the freezer! It will prevent your can from bulging during the water expansion process :0)

It’s Dollar Store Week! The Pot

It’s Dollar Store Week!The Pot!

The time has come for the final Dollar store post. *sniff* It’s one of those occasions that’s both sad and happy. Like watching a child go off to school for the first time, or eating a whole strawberry-rhubarb pie in one sitting.

Mostly though, this is an exciting moment. The final Dollar store post is perhaps the most dramatic transformation ever to be recorded in history. Ever. If you don’t count some of the better drag queens.



So here we go …. deep breath … the final Dollar Store post.


clay pot







Ta da! An outdoor lantern. I’m almost positive the other shoppers in Dollarama heard something in my head *pop* when I came up with this. I was actually looking at Dollarama’s Chinese paper lanterns thinking how I liked them, but how they’d get wrecked if they were left outside in the rain for one night. Not a good thing for someone who might not be exactly, completely on top of things like bringing stuff in from the rain. Ever. Also a poor trait for someone who has a sunroof in their car. Just sayin’.

To prove that you could do this with ONLY things bought at a Dollar store I bought everything at Dollarama. You can improvise with stuff you already have at home, like chain or metal rods or whatever else you have in your basement or junk drawer. The Led lights I bought are meant for outdoors and are thusly waterproof, so pay attention to that if you go shopping around to do this.

So here we go … it’s simple enough to do but here are the instructions just in case you need ‘em:


remove the chain from your really ugly cat plaque. it is now your choice as to whether you would like to display your really ugly cat plaque or throw it in the garbage.


slip a thin metal rod through chain ends. i used a hex key i bought at dollarama. wind elastic band around ends to keep chain from slipping off. hook led light into middle.


put light and rod inside pot. pull chain through drain hole in pot. the rod acts as a brace to keep everything in place. this way you can also easily remove the light for when you need to change the batteries.



this is what it will look like inside the upside down pot.


this is what it will look like outside at night. i put mine on the fence outside my dining room window so i can see them when i’m inside at night.


And guess what?!! You can do this with just about anything! I used plastic pots, clay pots and woven baskets. With a little screwing around with your materials and technique whatever you want or find should work. For example:










This one is done a little differently:


remove the chain from your still ugly cat plaque.


turn your basket upside down, slip chain through weave and tie ends of chain together with fishing line.


cut a long thread of fishing line and loop through hooks on back of LED bulbs,


run fishing line that’s looped around light through weave in bottom of basket so it comes out other side.


grab ahold of your fishing line that you’ve run through what is now the top of your basket (shade).


pull the fishing line so it lifts the led light right up to the top of the basket. tie the fishing line into a tight knot, then cut the ends off.


see? the light is nice and snug against the top of the shade. i’m kindda shocked i just used the word “snug”. that’s an old person word.


hang your fancy new basket lamp on the bracket.



or even better! hang 2 fancy basket lamps on brackets!



ready for a party! that i’ll never have. which is o.k. this way i don’t have to clean up before or after the party. yet i still get to enjoy the lamps. and cheesies if i want. win, win really.


Total cost for each of these outdoor lanterns? About $5. I ate more money in snacks while making them. Curse you Smartfood.

This concludes my very first Dollar store series. If my brain doesn’t explode I’ll have another series for you in a while. If my brain doesn’t explode. Probably eating more Smartfood would help with preventing that.

NEW 28 Outdoor Lighting DIYs To Brighten Up Your Summer





Canning Jar Lights


I recently got a new table for my back yard that was passed down from a friend of the families, who made it prior to passing away last year. I put the table in the back yard and soon after my children begged to have dinner out there, I realized I needed some light! I saw an idea similar to this in the Pottery barn magazine using Milk bottles and decided to make my own spin. Definitely not Pottery Barn material but, I was happy. This is where I got the blue fingers.
Steps:
1. Purchased 5 indoor/outdoor light cords at Ikea for $7


2. found a case of 12 Kern Mason jars in the larger size at Walmart for $9



3. Used a large drill bit that would cut about a half dollar sized whole in the medal cap of the jar. Cut holes in 5 jar lids. i'll be honest, hubby did this part.

4. Found translucent outdoor glass paint at Michaels in a green/gold color and painted the outside of a few jars, $7. I did a bright blue also and it didn't look the way I wanted so I don't think I will go with that. I liked the green because it reminded me of the antique canning jars that were made this color

5. I screwed about 5 jars to the cord fixtures and hung them above my table. I had to play with the placement as to doing more of a tight bunch of lights or more of a grape cluster. Get the hubby to hang them from a plant hook and attach an extension cord to a socket for power. Turn on and be wowed.



Cute right? well, I liked my low budget creation anyway. I'm thinking of taking fabric to make a cozy to hide the cords or something.
