Bring home your own Oscar -- the Grouch, that is. An empty film canister becomes the perfect home for your child's grouchy friend.

What you'll need:

  • Empty black film canister with lid
  • Large (2") green pom-pom
  • 2 Wiggle eyes (7 mm)
  • Tacky glue
  • Short piece of narrow green ribbon (if you wish to hang it)
  • Toothpick

How to make it:

  1. With toothpick run small amount of tacky glue around inside of film canister around top edge.
  2. Place green pompom into canister so that about 1/2 of
    pompom shows over top.
  3. With toothpick, spread tacky glue around underside of lid, then place on top of pom-pom slightly tilted back towards green hanging ribbon (if you plan on hanging it).
  4. With toothpick, spread small amount of tacky glue on eyes
    and stick onto ball.
  5. There you have it - Grouch-In-a-Can!
