Make Monday: Olympian Medals

Do not forget all those medals you need for your little Olympian as they participate in their own Olympic events. Here is a way to make your own medals.

Supplies

String
Metal Tin Can Lid
Nail
Hammer

Instructions

Use a lid from a can of food as your base. Different cans appear gold or silver in color. Make sure it is clean without rust. When opening the can, use a can opener that will not make dangerous sharp edges (Pampered Chef has one). Take the nail, making it upright, and pound a hole with in the top of the lid from which to hang the string. Punch more holes with the hammer to make a design such as USA. Decorate the lid as otherwise desired. Sport your medal after finished events.

Note: This project works well with older kids. Please supervise the kids using hammers and nails. Do this project on a surface used for hammering.
