Creative

Convert scrap round downspout and gutter offcuts into decorative rain chains. Crimp male ends to nest sections securely, add copper or aluminum cups, and hang under eaves to guide water while creating a sculptural feature.


DIY Metal Lanterns

Use food cans or short duct sections; crimp collars so pieces slip together without screws. Punch patterns for light, add a tea light holder, and finish with weather-resistant paint for garden or patio lanterns.
