NOTE: Let dry completely between painting steps.

Thoroughly wash cans. Remove any labels and adhesive residue.
Using a 1" foam brush, paint entire can in Orange Sherbet. Let paint dry completely between coats.
Using a pouncer, randomly add polka-dots to cans in Blue Bird.
Once paint has dried completely, use a hand-held bottle opener to punch two holes in each can on opposite sides.
Measure the rope to fit the height of the kids (having a little more rope is better than not enough). Thread the rope through the can and tie a knot to prevent the rope from coming out.
Flip the cans over and enjoy!
