These are the cutest, and so eco-friendly! What a great way to turn a great recyclable item into something useful and very stylish for your outdoor garden or patio!
I can’t WAIT to make some of these! I also have some coffee tins I’ve been saving that I was going to turn into planters, but I may just turn it into a great candle-holder for my patio table.
For directions on how to make these, head over HERE and get started!
When I make some I’ll definitely post a few and let you know how they turned out! I’m not sure I’ll use a leaf design, but I do like it. Perfect for the outdoors!

I think these are cute too. I might try making one or two when I get some time. BTW. I tried to post on your hodgepodge blog, but the design cuts off the field for me to enter the security word and the submit comment button is not visible. If you haven’t been getting comments on that blog, the design may be interfering with the process!

I think so too! When I make them I’ll be sure to post them, and if you make them before me I’d love to know!
That’s weird about my hodgepodge blog, I tried to see if I could post a comment and it didn’t cut anything off for me and I didn’t seem to have any problems, but thanks for letting me know! I may change the layout anyway just to be sure! I’m fairly new to blogger, and the one thing I don’t like is the inability to save your widgets! If you change the layout it removes all of them! Grrr.
I also subscribed to your blog! Thanks for reading mine!

I’m pretty new at blogging too. I haven’t really played around with blogger’s widgets yet. I just have one, I think, at the bottom of my page. Thanks for the reading my blog. I’ll keep you posted about the can lanterns!
