Mini models

Easy to obtain, and even better, available for free, film canisters are an excellent resource for creative modelling ideas, says Miranda Walker. Why not see if your group can be inspired too? Camera film containers, which you can get from photograph developers, can be the inspiration for many craft activities. It's good practice to sterilise them before use in a solution of sterilising fluid (the type used for baby equipment). A glue gun used under supervision is the most effective way to stick items to canisters.
