I came up with this super easy coffee tin diy. I love the brand Don Francisco’s Coffee and it comes with this awesome size aluminum tin.

Items You’ll Need

Acrylic Paint – I used Orange yellow and mars black
Hammer
Small Nail (depending on size of hole you want)
Tin Can – I used Don Francisco’s Coffee Tin
Tea light candles or twinkle lights

First you want to get the wrapping and the glue off the tin. I peeled off the tag and then used canola oil to get the sticky glue off. It sounds weird, but it works!

This is where you can get creative and make a pattern you’d like! I decided to do straight lines of holes across using a small nail and hammer. Use a marker to draw out your design first if needed. Carefully hammer in the nail creating a nice size hole. Continue the technique until happy.

I painted the entire tin using a orange yellow acrylic paint. Definitely do 2 or 3 coats depending on the color you chose. Make sure to let the coat dry completely between each application

Using the Mars Black acrylic paint, I filled in the horizontal lines. Let it dry completely. Use a toothpick to re-open the holes(may be filled with paint)
