Made this Bee to hang in my outdoor garden backyard. Tried using yellow paint with a paintbrush but that did not work well on the metal soup can so bought some yellow spray paint. Daughter had a reason to buy some Angry Orchard that she likes since I needed 2 metal bottle caps for the project. Had daughter draw the mouth. For wings I used a cleaner plastic bottle (1 gal plastic milk carton would have been 2nd choice).
marker: black Sharpie (to draw mouth)
metal: soup can, 2 bottle caps (eyes)
other: black tape, plastic recycled cut from a container, string
paint: yellow spray paint
wiggle eyes: 10mm
