DIY Tin Can Lantern // How To

Making a pretty Lantern out of a Tin Can

[@lampyrisnoctiluca9904]

This is gold. It took me some time to find this video hidden behind all the ugly generic projects that are recommended by the algorithm. I will save this video to return here before doing this again.

[@kieranfoster902]

The simplest ideas are the best. I love these little projects.

[@faridawadi6364]

This is gorgeous. Great job

[@junglejammer1]

Very nice. Gives a cheery glow.

[@BRITTWOODNESHIE]

I love it. This is a nice project to do. I can use this as a night light for the bathroom or anywhere in the home. Will be trying soon. 🙃

[@vincentferrari]

I love this so much! I have visions of a similar lantern my grandmother had on her porch when I was a kid... Very nice!

[@messipreppermom5090]

To keep the shape of the can from warping, fill it with water and freeze before punching. You're welcome.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

That's a great idea. Thank you :)

[@Masterr59]

I'm glad I read this! Thank you

Gran trabajo Fabián's Tiny, cómo con algo tan simple se puede hacer al útil y muy hermoso.

[@gailwilliams7683]

Love it, just wondering where you got the designs .. a project I'd love to do 😊

[@Masterr59]

I'm going to make my dad one of these for Christmas!

[@christisgod3354]

That's a really neat idea.

[@hansdegroot8549]

Great idea. Thanks for sharing. How did you search on Google for the patterns at 0:31 ?

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Have you tryed a google search for "tin can lantern patterns"?

Lovely project Please, the light you used was it a candle

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Oh I think it might have been a LED candle.

[@brittany.s_story]

Thank you!

Hallo Fabian, ein simples Projekt.... mit super Wirkung auf das Ambiente. Klasse 👏 Gruß Andy

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Vielen Dank Andy :-)

[@marie-lenaickletroadec2457]

connais déjà pour l'avoir fait il y a fort longtemps, mais sympa de l'avoir montré pour ceux et celle qui ne l'ont jamais fait. already know to have done it a long time ago, but nice to have shown it for those who have never done it.

[@trishahernandes7821]

That's awesome!

[@VANESSASDAILYLIFE]

Cool love it great idea.

[@KE4YAL]

Awesome lantern I really like the tin punch stuff thanks for sharing 👍

[@biancaveluz6744]

where did you get your pattern. thank you for this tutorial !!

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

google

[@123123gre]

Witziges Projekt 👍🏻. Wenn man die Dose auf einen kräftigen Rundstab auffädelt dann ist die Gefahr daß man sie zerbeult nicht so groß und sie läßt sich leichter lochen 😉

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Gute Idee. Erst habe ich es mit einem Nagel versucht, das klappte nicht so gut. Später habe ich eine Nähahle genommen, das ging dann wie durch Butter.

[@arthurgabriels1]

Hi, very nice work! Where can you find the wire with whom you can hold the lantern? Also, what kind of paint did you use?

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thank you. It's wire I found in the gardening section of our hardware store. If I remember correctly the paint was Plasti-Kote Cupboard Colours spray paint.

[@Sludgepump]

Nice idea! How was the chili?

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thank you :-) I love those little pequin chilis but I also love my habaneros ;-)

[@WakkasLove]

1st: I LOVE that soundtrack. What is it? 2nd: That is a lovely design. 3rd: I have seen so many tutorials where they freeze water in the can before hammering out the design, and I noticed that you do not. In your opinion, how deformed do the cans get if you skip the water step? In every one, the bottom of the can blows out and has to be hammered flat again, so I'd like to skip that technique, or come up with another one if possible. Anyway, nice work!

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

The song is from the youtube audio library. Unfortunately I don't know the name of the song. If you use a pointy awl you can easily push through the metal.

[@WakkasLove]

@@FabiansTinyWorkshop No worries about the song. Thank you for the reply about the awl :)

[@karynhussain2580]

What is the tool with the wooden handle called pls?

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

It's an awl :)

[@timberdish]

Great job!! :)

[@gunterschone8402]

Schönes Video, Fabian. Nicht schlecht die Laterne, die sieht super aus. Aber nicht das du damit jetzt im Martinsumzug mitläufst? :-D :-D Sowas kann man auch aus Holz machen, nimmst ein Kantel Holz (was größer als ein Teelicht ist). Malst/kopierst die ein Ornament/Bild drauf, dann bohren und schließlich innen ausdrechseln, dann aussen. Oberflächenbearbeitung und fertig. :-) Hm, vielleicht mache ich das für Weihnachten, ist mir gerade eingefallen. Dauert aber noch, habe gerade mein VW T5 etwas zerlegt, reinige mein AGR-Ventil. Wünsche dir ein schönes Wochenende, Grüße aus den Ruhrpott.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Danke! Ja aus Holz wäre bestimmt auch nicht schlecht ;-)

[@gunterschone8402]

Bitte schön.

[@dparab123]

Hi what’s the tool called

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

I think it's called awl or bradawl.

[@nikboeh1]

Very nice and simple project, but the sound volume is a bit too high for my taste.

[@robertohughesyo]

should have got one of those modern computers with a volume controler and turned it down a bit thats what I did

[@nikboeh1]

@@robertohughesyo It's turned all the way down on my phone but is sptill a bit loud.

[@hakanunal5300]

Nice music.
