Hope you all have fun and I can't wait to see everyone's.
What you need:
An assortment of cans to form arms, legs, head and body.
Screws for metal
Goop or silicone caulk
small amount of cement if desired
Drill with bit just a little smaller than screws you will use.
Screwdriver
Paint




1. Drill two holes in bottom of can for first part of leg, that will attach to the can you have chosen for the foot.



2. Hold can with holes over foot can and mark through the holes with an awl so you will know where to drill on the foot can.

I only lightly press it to make an indent, don't hammer it through or you will make the hole too big.

3. Drill holes in foot can for both feet then attach cans together with screws.

I like to add a dollop of goop or silicone caulk to where both sides of the screw meet the cans to seal the hole and make sure the screws stay in place.

If you want extra weight in the feet, now is the time to do it.

You can add cement in the foot can and let dry thoroughly before moving on to the next part.
