Easy to make and beautiful!

-Tea light candles

Painting

For this step all you need to do is paint a thin layer onto the can.

Design

Take an ink pen or light colored marker and dot where you want the holes to go.

Tapping

Place the nail on a dot you've made and tap on it with the hammer

Repainting

After all the tapping the paint would most likely be chipped, so repaint a coat on the can.

Finished

Put the tea light in the can and enjoy

 I didn't finish mine, just showing what it would look like after making some holes.
