Tea Light Holder

64 Comment

These look amazing hanging in a row, or placed along a path. Or even as a centerpiece on a table.

Material

1 Empty Condensed Milk tin... or similar
1 Nail
1 Hammer
1 Marker
1 piece of wire or string
1 tea light candle

Method

Design a free hand pattern or picture. Or trace something you like.
I like to line the inside of the tin with some cardboard and then stuff with paper to minimize denting the tin too much.

* the dents give character and at night you just see the light.
* Use the back of a spoon the rub the bigger dents out from the inside of the tin.
Then make small nail holes a few millimeters apart, following your marker lines.
Add two holes for a handle, and use either wire or string for a handle.
You can use a tea light with a wick or the battery ones (for safety)

It looks so nice. I will keep some cans and try. I guess they must be small cans indeed. The condensed milk ones look perfect. Maybe the small coconut milk cans too, if one tea light candle can fit in.

Certainly an inexpensive idea to brighten up a backyard next time we entertain. I will start saving my cans. Thanks!

This looks really cool and I know my eldest would love this but I might wait till he is a bit older as I don’t like them playing with candles.

  They look just as cute with the cheap battery candles from the 2 dollars shops.
