From a soda can you can quickly and easily make a candle holder. And if you use wire from an old transformer, then this candle holder will cost you absolutely nothing.
Total Time: 20 Minutes
Yield: Candle holder with a diameter of about 2.6 inches
Supplies:
- drink can
- scissors for metal
- hammer
- awl
- protractor
- wire 0.8 mm diameter, I used copper wire from an old transformer
- pliers and wire cutters
- mat
Steps:
- Cut off the bottom of the drink can. Trim the edges.

- Use the corner of the hammer to hit in the center to push the aluminum inward. Make sure the candle holder is stable.

- Using a protractor and an awl, make 8 holes at the edges at the same distance (15 degrees).

- Thread the wire through the holes, winding in one direction. Twist the ends at the back of the candle holder.

- Thread the wire through the holes, winding in the opposite direction. Twist the ends at the back of the candle holder.
