Clean cans thoroughly. Remove paper label. Punch two holes opposite each other on the side that still has a metal surface in tact. Figure out the length needed for each child by measuring the string against them, then cut it. Make the second string the same length. Tie the string through the two holes and tie in a secure knot.
Now it's time to decorate! Dip the paint brush into the glue bottle and paint onto tin can. Douse with glitter. Repeat. Create any design imaginable- for thin stripes use a fine brush. Add Zig-zags or polka dots if you want to get fancy. Smaller children can decorate their with stickers or decals. The possibilities are endless.
