SWANS using CANs




I learnt this, during one of the "Green and Clean Week", an event organised at Singapore.

Swans using CANs. Very simple one ....

- Cut the top portion and discard.
- Cut the body into thin strips, till the bottom.
- Carefully roll into desired shapes as shown in the picture
- Tin won't cut since they are too thin and flexible. However, guide your kids if they are doing it.

I am submitting this to the CAN Art Event



Waiting for your entries :)
