Oscar the Grouch
Oscar's head is made from a small Weber grill, turned upside down onto an empty packing tape roll. His body is a blue bucket, supported by a smaller, upside down metal trash can lid. His arms are made from plastic bottles and his hands are made from cardboard. The trash can, as well as the lid are the actual, metal objects. I painted all of his details, by hand.

Elmo
His eyes are cardboard containers and his head is a plastic milk jug. I used a plastic bottle for his body with pieces of cardboard for his arms, hands and legs. I used plastic yogurt container for his feet, along with a small tin can for his nose. I painted all of his details, by hand.
