In addition to carved jack-o-lanterns lighting your walkway, why not make your own Halloween lanterns?

Materials:

Tin coffee cans or similar sized ones.

Hammer and nails

Indelible markers

Acrylic paint

Small votive candles

Fill the cans 3/4 full of water and freeze. Draw a simple Halloween design like a ghost or a witch, on the outside of the can. Use the hammer and nails to poke small holes  about a 1/4  inch apart along the outline of your design. Submerge the can in hot water to melt the ice. If the ice expands the bottom of the can and it sticks out, just hammer it back in. Dry the can and paint it if you choose. Place a small candle at the bottom and light it.
