Illustrated tutorial on how to make can lanterns:
Materials for making a can lantern: a can, a knife, a ruler, and string
1. First grind off the lid of the can (a grinding wheel, whetstone, or flat cement floor can all be used for grinding)
This is the effect of the can after grinding off the lid
2. Use a ruler and knife to mark the spacing to be cut
3. According to the traces of the cutting line, use a knife to cut the originally positioned lines one by one (a thick cloth can be placed inside the can to prevent it from being dented during cutting)
4. After all cuts are completed, slowly press the can down
Press it into the shape of a lantern as shown in the picture. Be careful not to use too much force when pressing
5. Drill holes on both sides of the lantern and thread the cans to make the lantern.
OK, you can make a lantern out of a can in 5 simple steps. Just put a candle on it and light it! diyju.com
