• Cut the can open on the seam with the tin snips.  Be very careful as the edges are very sharp.

• Flatten out the can.

• Using flat nosed pliers,  turn the edges to the back of flag.

• With a pencil and ruler, draw the star and lines.  If using a coffee can it already has lines that can just be painted in for the stripes.

• When paint is dried, use a fine point Sharpie marker to draw little marks to look like broken threads on the seams.

• Spray two coats of sealer and let dry.

• With a small nail, pound two holes on either side to thread the wire for hanging.

• Note: Use any kinds of cans and make all different sizes of flags.
