Great home-made lanterns from tomato cans

Yes, from a well-cleaned and good-looking metal tin you can create a wonderful lamp. In this case, this is left over from the last tomato soup.

If you want, take a look at a few simple steps to make this great DIY idea for home.

The basic idea is to put some holes on the side, through which the light penetrates later. But of course everything will look much nicer and more individual if you also create certain figures with these holes. Also prepare a foil for this purpose. So you could get a second application.

You can wrap the paper around the metal can. With carbide needle holes could then be pierced. The risks to your health are not very high. After all, you should consider using gloves to avoid injury.

The most risky thing about this DIY project is that the box could be pierced by the blows with the hammer and the carbide needles. But there is a way to avoid this. You should fill the dose with water and then turn it into ice. Note that the ice has more volume (do not fill the dose to the ceiling with water). When the ice is frozen, start carefully breaking the holes.
