Weekends are for projects. This particular weekend though I was feeling a bit lazy so my project had to be simple. A while back I had seen pillar candle holders made out of what appeared to be tin cans on hautelook.com.
In anticipation of undertaking this project, I had saved one Bush's 28 oz. Baked Beans can and one 14 oz. vegetable can. In order to have three cans of differing heights I would need one more. I headed to my local supermarket and picked up a squat can of niblets corn. The can was the perfect size for my project and the corn would go well with dinner.
I pulled off the labels and washed the cans out thoroughly. When they were dry I laid out some newspaper and pulled out some leftover cans of spray paint. I chose green, orange and white to match my decor. I gave each can two coats of paint.
After the cans were dry, I brought them in and placed them on my dining room table. I then either inserted or topped each one with a cream, brown or maroon colored candle from my stock.
I think the final result makes for a colorful candle trio don't you?
