Tin Can Craft Ideas Made With Recycled Material

It is so easy to make a candleholder. Wash your can and remove the label. Fill the can almost to the top with water and then set in your freezer.

You can either make a paper pattern the size of the can or you can free hand a design. If you use a paper pattern all you need to do is tape the paper on after the water has frozen. Next, take your hammer and nail and punch a hole and follow the lines of your design. The frozen water helps keep the can in its original shape.

After the design is all done let the water thaw. When the can is completely dry you can now paint the can or leave it in its original color. I like to paint mine so that they match my décor.

You can make these tin can candleholders for any occasion. Make them for parties, holidays, graduation, bridal showers or even baby showers. Customize them for the event. Christmas candleholders can be made with poinsettias or holly or even a snowman. There are no ends to the possibilities you can do with tin can crafts. Just let you imagination go and you will be surprised at what you can come up with.
