Tin can lanterns
Tin can lanternsCat food tins actually
Holes were made using a 6" nail filed to a point. Printed patterns off the tinternet then selotaped them to the can as a template. Spray paint was left over from a touch up job on my van, galve wire for hanging is about 60p a mile (ish) About an hour to complete. One of them had to be a chicken Some days you're the pigeon, some days you're the statue.
