How to make a tin can lantern

You will need: gloves, a towel, a clean tin can, water, different sized nails, a wire hanger, and a freezer.

1. Take a clean tin can, fill it with water and freeze it.

2. Put on your gloves to keep your hands warm, then set the tin can on a towel, and hammer out a design using the different nails. Make sure that you work quickly so that you finish before the ice melts.

3. Attach hanger so that it makes a handle.

4. Place your votive or candle in the lantern, and enjoy. A citronella votive would be a great choice for an outdoor picnic or a barbecue.
