By recycling and decoupaging cans from the kitchen, you can keep the supplies tidy in a decorative way.   Copyright: All patterns, pictures and text found on Craftideas.info are property of this website and may be only printed out and used for private or non-commercial purposes. It is not permitted to use them on the internet or in any other publication. For this project you will need: - Cleaned can from the kitchen- any size is   fine - paper napkin with design of choice - light colored acrylic paint to use as base   color under the napkin - soft but flat paint brush - decoupage glue or paper napkin applique   glue   Instructions: 1. Basecoat the can with paint color of choice and let it dry. 2. Take your paper napkin and remove the bottom layers so that you only have the top layer. 3. Cut the napkin out to a height slightly higher than the can. 4. Tear about 1/2 - 1 cm off of the side edges of the napkin. This will help the napkin lay smoother on the can and a harsh straight line can be avoided at the seam. 5. Apply a thin layer of glue on the can and press the beginning of the napkin on the can. Gather more glue on the brush and “paint” the napkin gently onto the can and continue “painting” it all around the can until you reach the beginning again. Try to avoid wrinkles while “painting”. Smaller wrinkles will also disappear when the glue dries. The napkin absorbs the glue through it and sticks then to the can. 6. Allow the can to thoroughly dry. 7. Cut excess napkin away from the top and bottom of the can if necessary.
