Materials Needed: 1.  
Used tin cans 
Glass paints 
Relief outliner 
PVA glue 
Motifs or borders from wrapping paper or wallpaper 

1.  Removing the labels from your cans and scrub the outsides them with soapy water. If there is any label glue left on the outside of the tins clean it off with white spirit or nail varnish remover. 

2.  To decorate with glass paints; Draw a pattern onto a tin with relief outliner and leave to dry. 
You can use any colour for this, but black or silver is very distinctive. Paint in the design as you would do on glass. 

3.  To trim with decoupage; Cut out motifs from pretty wrapping paper and stick to the surface of the tin with PVA glue. Give the tins an all over coat with the PVA or clear varnish to seal. If desired you can edge each motif with relief outliner. 

Step 1:  Cut as shown by the red lines.  Be careful not to separate at the fold (dotted line). 

Step 2:  Using thick craft glue or a low-temp glue gun (get help from an adult), take the larger piece and apply glue to all the cut edges.  Fold over and secure with a rubber band until it's dry. 

Step 3:  After the large piece is dry, add glue to edges and inside the curve of each smaller piece.  Place over the side seams on large piece aligning with similar pieces molded into the large piece.  Again, secure with rubber bands until dry. 

Step 4:  For a base, invert a small styrofoam bowl (or cut down a styrofoam cup).  Mount the rocked on the base when centering.   Cut a slot if required for the bottom seam. 

Step 5:  When dry, paint and decorate!  This rocket was decorated with silver and blue glitter for a very sparkly effect!
