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 :)
