Blikkie lanterns

Hier is nog 'n manier om die kinders besig te hou in die vakansie: (Oulik vir kersfees of enige feesviering in die tuin.)

a.    Tools and MaterialsOld tin cans, hammer, awl, water, toothpick paint if necessary, candles
b.    Begin by cleaning empty coffee or soup cans and removing labels.
c.    Fill can with water, and freeze
d.    Steady frozen can on a bag of rice, and punch holes with an awl and hammer.
e.    Defrost and dry. Paint exterior with oil-based enamel; if holes get blocked, poke with a toothpick.
f.     Once dry place candle inside and there you have your lanterns.
