Hello to all visitors to this site. To decorate the interior or for any other needs, for example, if you turn off the electricity, we often use ordinary candles. But you can’t just put a candle on the table and light it. Otherwise, all the wax will flow onto the table, and the candle itself will not stand, will fall. To prevent this, we put candles on mugs, on cups, on saucers. But why not make a special stand for the candle. For this we use candle holders.
In this article I will tell you in detail how to make a candlestick in home conditions from the usual unnecessary can. For this homemade it will not take much time, but patience and accuracy will be required.
To make a candlestick from a can I needed:
Instruments:
1) A sharp clerical knife,
2) Permanent marker,
3) scissors,
4) A simple pencil (you can do something else round in shape, for example a pen),
5) Glue gun and hot glue,
6) The hammer.
Materials:
1) Aluminum can from a carbonated drink,
2) The candle.
The manufacturing process of an aluminum can candlestick do it yourself.
To make a home-made candlestick, we need an ordinary aluminum can.
Using a stationery knife, cut off the top of the aluminum can and remove it so as not to interfere. We don’t need it anymore.
With the help of a permanent marker, we mark the places by cutting on the bank. The thickness of one strip will be approximately 7mm and the length approximately 5cm
Next, along the drawn lines with the help of scissors, we cut identical strips around the entire circle of the can.
Now we take a simple pencil (you can something like a pencil) and twist the cut strips onto it as follows.
This is how round curls should turn out so we twist all the strips of our future candlestick.
We must try to ensure that they are the same, at the same height and the same in size.
After making all the curls, with a glue gun they must be glued to the bank itself. This is so that they do not straighten, do not deteriorate.
This is how the candlestick turned out.
But now the candle will fall due to the convex bottom of the aluminum can.
To prevent the candle from falling, you need to use a hammer and light strokes to make a small depression on the convex bottom in this way.
Next, take a candle and insert it on a candlestick.
To do this, light a candle and drip with molten wax on the bottom of the candlestick.
We insert a candle on the molten wax and wait until it hardens and attaches to the bottom of the aluminum can. After this action, the candle will stand on the candlestick itself, without the help of any other devices.
Homemade candlestick from an aluminum can is ready. Now you can put in some place and enjoy homemade. This article ends. Thank you all for your attention! Bye everyone!
