• With the help of the tweezers, you must make sure to tighten the edges of the cans; in this way, the excess of metal will remain towards the inside, preventing the child from being hurt by the can.
• Re-wash the cans using degreasing soap, this will eliminate the smell of soda, then dry the whole can very well. With the hot silicone, make a thick line through the inside of the can, just at the edge, so that there is no roughness in it.
• For this step, you must have four transparent ice cream caps, or if you do not have four circles of acetate to place them in the holes, this will give the sensation that the binoculars have real crystals.
• In the case of finding transparent plastic caps, you must use the enamel remover to eliminate the date and price of the surface. You can also use a sheet of used acetate; you should only clean it with remover enamel or conventional alcohol.
• Measure the transparent plastic on the front, with a permanent marker copy the edge of the circle, and with a scissors cut the excess trying to be as accurate as possible, then place a little silicone and stick the plastic, repeat this procedure until the four faces are covered.
• Cut the 1 cm thick felt strips and cover all edges to cover any imperfections. You should also cut strips of 5 cm thick; these should stick them in the middle of the cans, covering the entire circumference; this way, it will be much more comfortable to grip the binoculars.
• Finally, measure the length of the ribbon and make sure there is enough so that your little one can place it on the neck comfortably, then cut a piece of ribbon and glue it on the felt to cause a nice visual effect.
• To fix the ribbon strap, you have two options; for the first you just have to stick the ends of the tape with hot silicone, however, it is necessary to say that this union is not usually very resistant, so, it is much more advisable to fix it with small manual sewing.
