Now its time to make the eye.
1. Get a canning lid and pop out the top.
2. trace the inside of the can and draw a eye in the circle.
3. Now cut out the circle and glue or tape it to the inside of the canning lid.
4. Take those sour straps and cut them to the length of your cake( it looks better if you slice out the red ). line them up beside the eye to see how they look.
