The boys are at a new MDO (Mother's Day Out) and they have an Easter Egg hunt. I got all crafty and made both of their classes, egg baskets/cans. Just like any other project I have, Justin (and a friend...thanks Colby) got enlisted to help...but we got it done.
Step 1: Have a MIL who works in a cafeteria
and can give you the hookup with 25 cans...FREE!
Step 2: Scrape the glue off with a knife cutter.
Justin walked away for this step b/c he cringes every time
I have something sharp in my hand. Still got all 10 fingers!
Step 3: Lay them all out and get to painting.
The blue can with a "B" on it was used as my inspiration.
Step 4: Get it done! Just fyi..it did take two coats.
Step 5: Have your handy husband and friend use
some kind of clampy contraption thingy, and go to town with their drills.
Translation..way above my skill level!
Step 6: String rope through the holes for the handles.
Yes it took a little sweet talkin...but look how happy
he is to be helping me (cough cough)
Step 7: Throw some letters on there with a paint brush
(I used the first initial of the kiddos) and Briggs helped
Last step: Put some polka dots on the cans.
I forgot to get a good pic with my big camera...so a little blurry.
It turned out super cute. Can't wait to update with pics from the actual Easter egg hunt!
