Craft idea with cans
- 4 empty and clean cans without labels
- 4 candles
- white acrylic paint and sponge
- Christmas paper
- double-sided tape
- Sand, earth or other filling material
- Felt-tip pen, ruler, pencil, scissors
- coarse sea salt
- Decorations such as ribbons, pine greens, nuts, balls, artificial snow
Paint the cans the white color. If you also wrap the paper around it afterwards, you don't have to paint the entire can, just the edges where the metal will be visible. Then measure the circumference and height of the cans and cut the paper. It should be slightly longer than the circumference of the can so that it can overlap. It is best to use double-sided tape to attach the paper strips to the cans.
Then fill the jars with your chosen filling material, insert the candles and fill with fake snow to cover the material. Insert a few green branches all around and decorate with any other materials such as ribbons, bows and the like. Place the candle holders on the tray and place other decorations around them.

It gives the wreath an extravagance that no one else you know will have. Such silhouettes can also be purchased ready-made in craft and decoration stores, so all you have to do is set them up.
