This was last week's find. Can you tell what they are? Party lights! Can you tell what they are made of? Tin cans!
As you know, I love turning trash into something beautiful and useful. When I saw these party lights at a flea market, I got so excited. Someone was VERY clever and creative in thinking of this upcycled product. It looks like they were cut with a torch. There is a hole in the can bottom to accomodate a light, and the "ribs" cut into the can can be bent to give it a more round shape.
They look perfect with vintage industrial or rustic decor. Now, all we need is the party.
They are clever, and this summer I saw a lot of tincan art things at fairs.
You know I love the blue lights with the rusty.
That is a tought job cutting all that tin.
They things I saw qaere quite expensive and I completely understand why.
You find great stuff.
