Materials Needed

• empty film canister
• label from a can of food
• drill
• 1/2 inch drill bit
• scissors
• glue

Steps

1. Drill a 1/2 inch hole in the bottom of the film canister. An adult should do this.
2. Cut the food label so it matches the height of the canister.
3. Wrap the label around the canister.
4. Trim the ends so there is about a 1/2 inch overlap.
5. Glue the label in place.
6. Let the glue dry.
7. Slide the neckerchief through the hole in the bottom.

Notes And Variations

• Adults should handle all drilling.
• Photocopy and shrink labels if you want the full design.
• Use the most interesting part of the label if trimming.
• Soup and vegetable labels work well.
• Ask local photo shops for free film canisters.
• Make sure the open end of the canister is at the top so it looks like an open can.
