Nothing like the soft glow of candlelight to add ambiance to a summer evening, yet there’s no reason to spend a fortune on holders if you have a few extra cans in the recycling bin.

Inhabitat’s Emily Peckenham offers a simple seven-step tutorial to create fun lights you can also have fun coloring for daytime display.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2-4 cleaned, empty tin cans (you can use any size)
• a hammer
• an assortment of nails (for larger or smaller holes)
• colorful permanent markers
• paper, pencil, masking tape, scissors (if you plan to use a pattern)
• votive candles
• a towel
