Draw your design in a piece of paper to fit the size of the cans and tape in place. Put the cans on the sandbag and punch holes in them. Put them in the fridge for 30 minutes after each 10 minutes of work so they remain solid. Punch a pair of holes opposite each other 3/8 in. (1 cm) below the top of the cans for fitting the handle. Remove the sand and make a handle out of a 10 in (25 cm) length of a wire. Fill the cans with newspaper and spray paint them evenly and attach the handle once they are dry. (via craftfoxes)
