Steps:
Step 1: rip T-shit into long strips
Step 2: glue ribbon onto the can to make a handle
Step 3: wrap one piece of shirt around can and tie
Step 4: continue wrapping pieces around the can until it is all covered
Step 5: Open a place for the "mouth" 
Step 6: color in with a Sharpie

These were fun to make because I FINALLY thought of something cute to do with recycled cans. I have been saving the sturdy things for a while, but couldn't seem to put them to use until now! I hope this leads to many more ideas!


Probably the saddest thing you'll ever see is a mosquito sucking on a mummy. Forget it, little friend.
