Add a bit of twinkle to your garden. I will!

Turn an empty tin of tomatoes into a fabulous outdoor lantern - just what my little garden needs... A bit more twinkle!

What you will need:

• Used and empty aluminium can;
• Soapy water;
• Felt-tip pen;
• A pattern - we used a heart;
• 1 metre of ribbon (the prettier the better)
• Electric drill;
• Narrow drill bit;
• Safety glasses;
• Tea-light

How to make a lantern from an aluminium can

1. Soak tin in soapy water to loosen the label.
2. Using the pen, mark your pattern on the side of the tin and two evenly spaced points at the rim for a ribbon handle.
3. Insert a narrow bit into an electric drill and carefully drill a series of holes in the tin. Handle with care as the inside will be sharp.
4. Thread ribbon through the two holes at the rim and knot.
5. Place a tea-light inside (carefully) and hang from a branch in the garden.

AND... Wallah!! Fabulous lighting for any occassion. I perhaps will change mine up a bit with some pretty, girly ribbon! Kellie xx
