Weekend Project: How to Make a Beer Can Lantern

Give your weekend or upcoming July 4th backyard BBQ some stylish, upcycled flair with this clever beer can lantern hack. I actually think these would look quite cool in bulk, placed on every flat surface. It might look a little cluttered at first, but once the sun goes down? Summer magic. (You could always spray paint the whole lot to make them feel cohesive).

Of course, to make the cuts easier, you’ve got to fill empty cans with water and place them in the freezer for several hours. So, you’ll need to drink the beers ahead of time and freeze…but, I’m sure most of you will be okay with that.
