Tin cans and wedding somehow seem to fit together, whether they’re giving you a sonorous sendoff in the car or serving as invitations. Now, here’s a brilliant craft idea from 1001 Layer Cake for your table top decorations: cheap but very effective and pretty, these table numbers are made from tins spray painted and then drilled. Then a candle goes inside and the light shines through the number!

Such a good idea. Even if you don’t want to number your tables, you could just make candle holders for around the house, or as a gift for someone. If you want to have a go there’s a tutorial here. [Via Crafty Crafty]
