Iron figurines to brighten up the garden.

What do you need.

  • Some empty canning jars
  • 1 old funnel
  • iron wire
  • drill for the holes.

How do I get started?

  • 1
    Keep a large tin set aside for the figure's torso.
  • 2
    Make an arm by connecting two smaller cans with iron wire on each side.
  • 3
    Repeat for the second arm.
  • 4
    Make the legs in the same way.
  • 5
    Attach another can at right angles to each leg to form the feet.
  • 6
    Attach the arms and legs to the torso with iron wire.
  • 7
    Drill one hole in the center of the top of the fuselage.
  • 8
    Also drill a hole in the center of the tin that will become the head.
  • 9
    Insert an iron wire through the hole in the hull and tie a knot on the inside.
  • 10
    Place the head over the wire by sticking it through.
  • 11
    Similarly, attach a funnel at the top so that the whole thing moves like a marionette. 🎭
