Purple or green glitter card, a strip 3 cm x the circumference of the can (measure before cutting)
Glue stick and PVA glue
Scissors
Black marker
Step by Step
An adult checks the can for sharp edges and files any down, or covers the rim with a strip of masking tape. Measure the height and circumference of the can.
Cut a rectangle of black card to fit exactly around the can. Wrap it around the can and glue the overlapping seam with PVA. Hold for thirty seconds until set.
Measure and cut the glitter card strip to fit around the top of the can. Glue it in place with PVA so it sits like a rim.
Cut two small D-shaped handles from black card offcuts, each about 4 cm across. Glue one to each side of the can with PVA, pressing for one minute each.
Once dry, draw three small green bubbles on the front of the cauldron with a green marker for the potion effect. Fill with pencils or wrapped sweets.
