image or word onto the tin can. You
can freehand or print a design from the
internet and then trace it onto the tin can.
3. Place the tin can on a folded towel. This
will help brace the tin can and reduce the
impact of punching the holes with the
hammer.
4. Then, use the hammer and awl {or nail}
nail to puncture the design in the can.
5. When you’re done punching the holes,
place the can under hot, running water to
melt the ice.
Greet your guests with a Hitchcock inspired
wreath from rookno7.com. You can find
most of the ingredients you need for this
black raven wreath at the Dollar Store.
You will need a small wreath, black birds,
glue gun, spray adhesive, black glitter, and a
black string.
Remove the legs from your birds and hot
glue them around the wreath with their
heads in the center. Use the spray adhesive
to spray the heads of the birds and then
sprinkle glitter on top. Use your sting to
hang the wreath and you’re done!
6. Also, since water expands as it freezes,
the bottom of your can will probably not
be level. If not, then turn the can over,
cover with a towel, and hammer down
the edges until the bottom of the can is
level.
7. Paint the tin can using either spray paint
or acrylic paint. Once the the paint is dry,
you’ll probably have to go back with a
toothpick and poke some of the holes
through on the can since the paint can
clog them up.
8. Place a candle inside the can and enjoy!
While you’re dressing up your entrance, try
this neat trick to create faux broken glass by
applying frosted contact paper with jagged
cut outs in the center to your windows.
