Next, draw one vertical line parallel to the long side of the can.
Step 2
Repeat the marking on the bottom part of the soda can.
Connect the marks from both sides with a ruler.
Step 3
Start with the removal of the bottom part of the soda can.
Place your X-acto knife on a piece of scrap wood.
Press the blade onto the scrap wood, then turn the soda can around to make a groove.
Open it with a credit card, then remove the bottom.
Once done, bend the stripes so they will form a sun-like structure.
Step 5
Apply glue on the ends of the strips on both sides.
Let the sides dry separately for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 6
After 15 minutes, stick the strips together.
Be sure to align them properly.
The strips hold immediately together so be careful.
Step 8
Cut a rectangular piece from a soda can and flatten it.
Form it into a box.
Step 9
Use the paper clip as a connector between the basket and the balloon.
Let it dry completely.
Step 11
Tie a string to the tab of the soda can so you could hang it.
