When decorating an environment, choosing the paint makes all the difference. After all, painting on the wall brings the feeling of space renewal. But, in addition to it, the objects used in the room can also be the protagonists. And did you know that there are several DIY possibilities with paint cans?
So, why not combine the useful with the pleasant and reuse paint cans to create these beautiful decoration lamps?
You will need:
Can of paint; Pen; Hammer and nails; Wire; Pliers; Spray paint of your choice; Water; Candle, lamp or flasher; Lamp pendant with socket (if you choose to use the lamp). + Spray paint on decoration
How to make:
Start by cleaning the paint can. Remove the label and all traces of the product. Done that, fill the can with water and put it in the freezer until it turns into ice. With the can filled with the weight of ice, you will ensure that it does not get crushed in the next steps. After this step, make, with the pen, the holes that will reflect the light from your lamp. They can be made randomly or in the form of drawings, such as hearts, stars… Use your creativity. Then use the nail and hammer to create the holes. Also drill two holes at the top, where the lamp handle will be. The next step is to remove the ice and spray paint the entire surface. When the paint dries, pass the wire through the two upper holes and, with the help of pliers, turn the ends into the can. Finally, place the candle or flasher. If you choose to do it with the lamp, place the lamp pendant. This DIY also works to use the object as a lamp shade. In this case, just follow the steps without using the wire as a handle.
