These tin can luminary table numbers are gorgeous... what a super idea for wedding receptions! I hope it's okay, I just couldn't help but feature them on my tin can crafts round-up I just finished. You can see it here: http://jamiebrock.hubpages.com/hub/cute-clever-tin-can-craft-projects Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial with us :)

Those are amazing looking! One of my preferred locations here in Tigard is Flatbreads, and they have tomato can pigments over their signals, which look fairly awesome.

They are awesome looking! One of my favorite places here in Portland has buns, and are in shades of tomato can be more light, which seems pretty cool.

These are a great idea, I am making them for our wedding at the moment. I am painting the inside as well as outside and found that if you pre-heat your electric oven to about 50-60 degrees C you can dry them in about 20 minutes - Similar to car spray painters. Great when you are doing a big batch of them (Try one first though if using gas oven as not sure how it would go). Also a good idea to put a piece of timber inside the can to give it a bit of strength when drilling, also gets rid of most of the sharp burrs on inside.

This is such a fabulous idea. I love the way it turns something so ordinary into something lovely.

Jaclyn on Jul 23, 2009

Loved the idea so much, I posted it on my blog :) Thank you for sharing your creativity!

tammyk on Jul 21, 2009

I love this! I'm already married, but I think I'll make it with our house numbers and line them up on our front porch.

Vera Devera on Jul 15, 2009

Jillian - you rock as always. I just came across a huge stash of BRAND NEW paint cans for 30 CENTS each at Urban Ore in Berkeley. I picked them up trying to figure out what I could do creatively with them (use as succulent pot holders or centerpieces) and voila, I came across your post. Grazie, bella! :)

girlwithblueballoon on Jul 10, 2009

Okay thanks so much!

christina on Jul 9, 2009

This is a great idea. Can you please tell me what the volume is on these cans? Thanks

100layercake on Jul 8, 2009

Hi there, Yes, you could spray paint the inside. If you do that I'd spray the inside first then spray the outside. You can't just use regular paint b/c it won't stick. I tried that at first.

girlwithblueballoon on Jul 8, 2009

I LOVE this idea....could you just paint the inside of the can rather than put colored paper inside?

Secret Leaves on Jun 30, 2009

This is such a cool idea. And if I found cans with graphics as great-looking as these Bazzini Nuts cans, I'm not sure I would even paint the outsides. Lovely. Sharon

Mary Kidwell on Jun 30, 2009

I've got to echo everyone else on this, I absolutely love this idea. I've been seeing it around the blogs and I think it's the most creative, most easily diy-ed idea for a centerpiece. I love that it's so easily personalized, and that you can alter the colors to match your own preferences. Thanks so much for posting this!

newlydomesticated on Jun 24, 2009

omg, how adorable. my friends did something similar for a party; they nailed personalized designs into the lids of mason jars and everyone took theirs home at the end of the night.

christina on Jun 24, 2009

love it! might do it for my wedding... i'll let you know how they turn out!

robin pulsifer on Jun 24, 2009

such a fabulous idea! really for any occasion. you could do it with letters too and spell out fabulous words. really great!

julianne smith on Jun 24, 2009

love this idea! you could paint the inside of the can instead and then put little tea lights inside. adorable!

nina on Jun 24, 2009

This is such a unique & cool idea...

EventStyle101 on Jun 24, 2009

love love love...so creative

victoria on Jun 24, 2009

These are awesome--so creative! I'm going to make some for our back yard BBQs. :)

Bonnie Bell on Jun 24, 2009

I like that you are using cans that are commercial size. They will add weight to a nice table centerpiece. I also like that you can use any paper inside to create a look and feel that will match your wedding style.

Erin on Jun 24, 2009

This is so clever - perfect for summer!

Kim on Jun 24, 2009

This is adorable! I'm not getting married, but I would definitely put something like this in my kitchen! Maybe switch the numbers with letters and spell out something cute! =) Thanks a million!

rachel baker on Jun 24, 2009

April on Jun 24, 2009

I love these DIY table numbers. They would be perfect for a garden wedding.

Kate on Jun 23, 2009

This is a GREAT idea. You could use alphabetical stencils, too .. I want to make some of these!

FireFlyNad on Jun 23, 2009

Thank you for sharing the tutorial, love the idea of recycling tin cans. You definitely can never have too many candles.

laura on Jun 23, 2009

I love new ways to recycle tin cans!

kiss my spatula on Jun 23, 2009

Joyce on Jun 23, 2009

Awesome idea! It's like table numbers and candles in one but still looking very classy!

Michelle on Jun 23, 2009

What a great idea! This would be nice with a floral pattern for everyday as well.

Brenda on Jun 23, 2009

Such a cute idea, I love the modern look with the cans.

TanSwan on Jun 23, 2009

SO CUTE! I made a Christmas votive holder like this in elementary school. We filled the cans with water and froze them so we could use a hammer and nail to make the holes. I still have mine 25 years later!

Shari@ Pretty Chicky on Jun 23, 2009

Great project! I would do this.
