Step 6Assembling the candle holder
The bottom of a coffee can is the right size. Make sure you fold it fairly square. If you fold one edge, use a side piece as a reference to fold the opposite side.
To make the candleholder, measure a piece of metal long enough to wrap around the candle. It needs some slack, because the rivet pokes inside and takes up some space.
Make sure to fold over sharp edges so no one cuts themselves. Use one rivet to hold the piece in a loop.
Make cuts 1/4" apart on the bottom edge fold the tabs out. There are more tabs than necessary, so remove all but four or five. Put holes in these and rivet to the bottom of the lantern.
