Here is a photo of one of the candle holders I made my son for his new apartment with he moved into this weekend. I used two Arizona Ice Tea cans-the flavor my son drinks all the time. I used the Big Shot and the Flower Folds die. Embossed it with a embossing folder and held everything together with a jumbo eyelet.
I curved the petals around the tea light and a pencil to give them a little dimension. I would strongly recommend using gardening gloves or some type of gloves to protect your hands during this project. The edges of a cut can are very sharp. They aren't nearly as sharp after cutting it with the Big Shot but I would still be careful, it is metal after all.
When I gave them to my son, he said "Mom, these are the coolest things ever. Seriously, I'm impressed!" What could melt a moms heart more than that?
Happy Stampin'
