Give the recycled can a basecoat of red craft paint, then paint the clay saucer blue. Paint the rim of the clay pot white and the base of the clay pot with a flesh tone. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary. 

Once paint is dry, paint two-thirds of the base of the clay pot with the white craft paint.  Let dry and apply a second coat of white, if necessary.  

Once that coat of paint dries, paint white stripes on the can.  Let dry and if necessary, apply a second coat of white paint.

Download, print and cut out the Uncle Sam Clay Pot Pattern. Trace the mustache onto white craft foam and cut out.

Use a glue gun to attach Uncle Sam's mustache to the bottom center of his face, then glue the clay saucer to top of clay pot (Uncle Sam's "head".

Use the peach colored paint to paint the nose and mouth. Paint eyes with black paint. Use white paint to add squiggly eyebrows. Once the eyes are dry, add highlights to the eyes by dipping the end of the paintbrush handle in white paint to create small dots. 

Trace the stars onto a piece of yellow craft foam, overlapping the tips slightly to make a long garland of stars.  Cut them out with scissors. 

Use your glue gun to attach the garland of stars to the base of the can. Next, glue can to the top of clay saucer. If you'd like, you can cut an extra star for the top of the can too.

Finally, attach USA letter stickers and rhinestones to the front three stars.
