See picture at bottom of page for completed project.
This example was made by a 1st grader.

Directions:
Spray paint the can black, let dry

Crush pop can - do NOT crush hockey puck style, you want the can elongated. The bottom of the can is crushed to the back. The top of the can is crushed to the front.

Spray paint the can black again to touch up any spots, let dry

Paint on eyes and mouth, or use wiggle eyes

Glue on small pompom for nose

Cut out ears (triangles) and wings from black craft foam Glue ears and wings on can

Outline wings with gray glitter paint or glue

Attach magnets to back of wings for use as a magnet. You could also attach a string for hanging instead if you wish.

This is a very cute and easy craft for all age levels. You do need to crush and paint the cans ahead of time as they take a while to dry.
