the can.
Cut pipe cleaners in half at even lengths (however long you want the legs) and glue or tape to each side to make legs (Four or Five on each side).
Make bends in the legs, Make a small bend at the top of the leg, then make even a smaller bend at the bottom part of the leg.
This next part is where your imagination needs to come into play.

You can purchase the funny moveable eyes at the craft stores, or you can even use small buttons you may have around the house.
