Simple cans made from felt pen lids, great for Barbie's or Action Men
A very simple model and quick to make and with so many possibilities. These tiny little MicroTins are absolutely perfect for Action Men (Army Rations) and Barbie Dolls. Use the label printouts provided to get you started, but it would be so much better if you or your kids designed tin can labels of your own. To do this you’ll need to draw them bigger (with normal felt pens and pencils), scan them in to your computer and reduce them to the right size using some suitable software, and then print them out at the new size. Alternatively, you could draw them big and reduce them in size on a photocopier, unless you fancy drawing the labels under a magnifying glass.
It really is as easy as this, but the instructions show you how to make sure that they are all the same size and gives you some printer templates and label printouts. Get creative, make spilled cans, open cans with their lids still attached, all easy to do once you’ve started. This project should take you about 10 minutes per can, less if you really get good at making them.
The instructions are so easy to follow, and the download comes in both US Letter size and A4 just click on the size you need, to download it.

Posted by Maddad - These are all we can find of the masses that were made. All the coke cans were squirreled away somewhere so safe that they have not seen the light of day since!

Wizardry and Magic
|
|
Harry Potter is all done. Of course there are rumours of an eighth book and the fact that we still have two films to go (as the last film will be split into two). It's going to be a long summer, but November will come round soon enough and the bitter sweet joy of seeing another HP film will be tempered by the fact that there is definitely only one more after that. Nevertheless, while you wait, there’s always more than enough magic in the air for you to recreate events at Hogwarts, the Burrow or the Ministry of Magic, by making your own models of Hogwarts wizarding paraphernalia.
Homemade wizard’s wands, Golden Snitches, or beautiful writing quills and loads of other Potteresk things are all here, ready for you to download on dadcando.
 Even if you’re just a muggle and have had enough of Harry Potter, there are plenty of other magical fantasy stories to keep you interested in the Magical Art of Making. All the Chronicles of Narnia are all being turned into films, as are the stories of Lyra in the books of His Dark Materials trilogy. Whenever we see interesting things in these films and stories, we will bring you them as best magical fantasy craft projects, so that you can turn your hand to making magic, and conjuring up some really cool stuff to amaze your friends.
 Now you can make your very own Victorian Domed glass display case, from a 2 litre soda bottle, to display all your favourite projects and artifacts really beautifully. With our simple instructions, the results of just an afternoon's making will be really cool, good enough to be film props in fact, and better than anything you can buy, because you made it yourself.
Or why not make a beautiful writing quill from either a hippogryph, phoenix or snowy owl feather . And because no quill would be complete without its own ink pot, there are also some easy to follow instructions and printables, for making the most fantastical, magical Ink-pots.
