Cover the coffee can with index paper to give you a smooth working
surface.
Cover and decorate your can with decorative paper. We had some shiny
book covers left over from Back-to-School. You can also use wrapping paper, scrapbook
paper, aluminum foil... anything. Use the Time Capsule Print Out or make your own.
Fill with interesting things like photographs, trading
cards, a cassette you recorded, finished homework, drawings, information about you and
your family, happy meal toys, your favorite recipe or anything you think someone in the
future might be interested in.
