Pipe:
1.Carefully stab a hole in the pop can, cut around the can with scissors, cut vertical slats all around (about half an inch long), and fold down so there are no jagged edges.
2.Cut felt in strips that are long enough to fold down into the can. Do one strip at a time!
3.Cover area of can with glue, carefully lay down the felt, press so it sticks, then fold the excess over the rim and down into the can, and glue that down.
4.Repeat process until can is finished. Take your time, the neater, the cooler it looks.
5.Stuff bottom of the can with some poly fiber fill, put flower in the middle, and surround it with black pony beads (or whatever you want). I used them, because I had them, use whatever is heavy so the can will not flip over under the weight of the flower.
6.You can also cut a round piece of black felt and cover the beads so they don’t fall out.
