4. The last stripe
probably will not fit exactly, but just fold the remaining tape under
the bottom of the can as shown.


5. Now
that you have one can finished, do the same pattern for
another can. For the third can, you will need to cut a strip of blue
cardstock or construction paper to a length that will wrap
around the can. The width should the width of the first seven
stripes, if you are making the correct American flag. For my
craft I had the blue section the width of four stripes. Use
your best judgement. Wrap this around the top of the third can and hot
glue in place.


6. Using
the next color of tape (in my case red), wrap a piece of tape around
the bottom of the blue paper, overlapping it a little to help secure it
more. Then continue with the stripes to the bottom, as you
did with the other cans.


7.
Decorate the blue portion with the silver and/or gold star
stickers.

8. To finish the buffet
silverware holder, apply a thick strip of hot glue to the sides of the
cans to glue them together in a row, and allow to dry.

9. The buffet silverware
holder is now ready for your next summer party!
