Cut Out + Keep

Trashy To Flasy Drinks Can Lights

from trashy to flashy, these drinks cans really know how to shine!

I started messing around with an old cream soda can and made some heart shapes on the bottom using a safety pin. I decided to go round the title and stick a light in it - as you do - and it turned out pretty well. I then stole my sisters half-empty can of Coke (obviously I had to empty it *wink wink*) and did the same with the "Coca-Cola" title because it was all swirly and I loved the finished product of this one. Post your versions. Love you All!!! xx :)

Instructions

  1. Small pict0501 1281371989

    Grab what you need - a couple of aluminium drinks cans, a flash light thing that you can get anywhere and a pin (drawing pin, safety pin, dressmakers pin - they all work).

  2. Small pict0513 1281371060

    Choose what part on the can that will light up and start to punch holes on it using the pin (hopefully the pic makes it more understandable)

  3. Small pict0520 1281371122

    Cut a hole in the back of the can (near the base) using the sharp scissors. please be careful though as the scissors AND the cut can will be sharp (sounds basic but I cut my finger doing this)

    Put in your little light thing (it can be elecrical or it can be a tea light candle) and there you go! Simples ;)
