Ingredients

Materials (makes one lantern):

One 8-ounce (22 gm) can of Mexican chilies

3 pieces of chain or coiled color wire, 8" (20.5 cm) each

Jump rings, 3/8" (1 cm)

Dangling charm

Glass votive holder

Votive or tea light candle

Hand drill

Can opener

Sandpaper

Directions

Remove the top of the can. Empty, thoroughly clean, and dry the can. Sand the edges at the ridge to remove any sharp points.

Drill three holes at the top of the can (just below the ridge) in a triangular fashion, in order to attach the chains. Drill two holes close together at the bottom of the can. Attach a jump ring to each hole at the top and one through the two holes at the bottom.

Hook one chain strip to each jump ring. Gather them at the top and connect with two jump rings. Add a dangling chain to the bottom jump ring.

Insert the glass votive holder and candle into the can.

Hang and light.

Tip: Try hanging one with a Guatemalan necklace, or remove the label and paint/glitter your own design onto it.
