### **2. Homemade Candle Holders**
If you enjoy DIY crafts and homemade décor, using cans to create custom candle holders is a fantastic way to repurpose them. Not only will you be saving money by creating your own, but you can also customize them to match your home’s aesthetic.
#### **Why It Saves Money**: Purchasing decorative candle holders from stores can be pricey, especially when you want to create a specific look or style. By using cans, you can make your own holders at a fraction of the cost.
#### **How to Make Cans into Candle Holders**:
– **Materials Needed**: Empty cans, tea light candles or small candles, a hammer, nails, or a drill, paint, and decorative elements (optional).
– **Steps**:
1. **Prepare the Cans**: Clean and dry the cans. Remove any labels, and use a scrubber if necessary to clean off any residue.
2. **Create Holes for Light**: To create a lantern effect, use a hammer and nails or a drill to make several small holes around the can. You can make a pattern or place the holes randomly for a more unique effect.
3. **Paint (Optional)**: After the holes are created, you can paint the can with your favorite colors. Metallic paints, pastels, or even a matte finish will add a beautiful touch to your new candle holder.
4. **Place the Candle Inside**: Once the paint is dry, place a small tea light candle or votive candle inside the can. You can also opt to place a small glass jar to hold the candle, depending on your preferences.
5. **Light and Enjoy**: Once you’ve assembled your candle holder, light the candle and enjoy the cozy ambiance it provides.
These candle holders can be used as centerpieces, accent pieces, or in any room where you want to add a bit of charm and warmth to your décor.
