  • Remove the print on the can also remove the cap and put it aside,do not throw the cap we will use it in the future.
  • Now take the marker and cut the hard top and bottom as shown in the image.
  • Once marked,grab your hand saw and cut it.
  • After it is cut,wash it with water.
  • Now you can easily bend and straight the sheet with hands.

Making the Design

Now cut the robot from the paper and mark its boundary.Once the boundaries are marked make the interior design.Use a red marker for a yellowish finish at the end.

  • First cut the design drawn with a sharp scissor.
  • Then take some acetone or nail paint remover on a cotton and rub it on the robot.
  • When you will rub it on the color will change to orange and further cleaning will change the color into yellow.(Once it is yellow cleaning it further will be useless as nothing is going to happen).
  • Do not worry when cleaning, as when you will clean it you may see the interior design easily.

SCRATCHING
