<DIV>Save me some cans! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For my non-SCA friends/family who get this-it's for an SCA project :)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am making Trick-or-Treat candle lanterns for use at a table or to be strung in a tree for Crown Tourney kid's trick-or-treat. I had originally planned on only making a few for my camp, but it's one way to help with the designation of who's passing out candy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would like for everyone to save 3 or 4 tin cans (soup or coffee size). Just peel the label off, wash and dry it and deposit them on my porch or call me to pick them up. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will draw a design a few inches from the bottom up on the outside of the can, fill it with water and freeze it. The ice keeps the can from collapsing when you punch a hole in the can. After the water freezes, you punch/drill holes to outline the designs you drew. The problem is the traditional method of hammering holes in the cans. I think I can use my cordless drill and possibly the dremmel tool to speed up the process, not to mention making it a wee bit safer. Then punch/drill two holes near the top of the can to thread baling wire thru ro make a handle/hanger. Place an inch or so of sand or kitty litter in the bottom, and place a tealight or votive candle in it then light it. Voila'.</DIV>

<DIV>If you have nothing to do, come by my place Tuesday night. I'm planning to start work on them some time after I get home from work at 6pm. Just e-mail me if you're interested in helping. I live in a small apartment, so only have room for a few people to work. THANK YOU!!!</DIV>
