Description:

So for this swap you will take a can, any kind of can, and upcycle it into a new container. For example, take a cat food can and upcycle it into a desk catchall. Or a coffee can into a coin bank. Or a tin can into a pencil holder. Decorate them, paint them, cover them however you want, make sure to clean them and make them safe for handling (get rid of them sharp edges). Not profile based so you can start now. Obviously you have to be in good swapper standing, if I have any questions I will PM you prior to assigning partners. If you have any questions for me please feel free to PM me. So 1 can to 1 partner.

does the finished product have to be a container??

Just saw your note, sorry. The finished product just needs to be upcycled so you can make it into whatever you want from the original can.

Just FYI, because it always confuses people. thegreengriffin is my daughter and thegreengriffin2 is me. Together we own a business called - guess what? The Green Griffin. Anyway, we'll each be upcycling a can :)
