Aluminum Luminaire

This is a luminaire I made from a disposable aluminum cookie sheet. It is a fun craft for adults and older children.

 Supplies:
Aluminum cookie sheet
scissors
ruler
Philips Head Screwdriver
thumbtacks
butter knife
foam core
cutting board

Cut a rectangle tall and wide enough to fit around a candle adding 1/4 inch on all sides.  Fold 1/4 inch of all the edges on all sides. Use the butter knife to help flatten the fold. Be very careful with the edges.They are VERY sharp. Adults should cut and fold the aluminum for children. Think of a design and use thumbtacks (for small holes) or use a Philips screwdriver (for larger holes) to make your design. When you are done, wrap the rectangle around the candle to give the luninaire its shape.
