anyone know how to make these? i've seen them...but not quite sure how it's done. can someone please explain...and a list of tools/supplies needed would be greatly appreciated! thanx in advance! :flower:
 
It's really very easy! You are just wrapping the paint can in fabric/scrapbook paper, and embellishing it.. It is really limited only by your imagination.. not much tools needed.
I am sure if you post this is the scrapbook forum, you will get lots of info!
 
thanx!! would you know what kind of glue would i need? and good idea...will post this on the scrapbook forum as well. :flower:
 
I have just done my first 2. I got paint cans, scrapbook paper, mod podge, ruler, x-acto knife and other little trinkets.
First i sanded the can just a little so it would have something to grab. I measured the can and cut the paper i needed. I mod podged the can and glued the paper. I coated the can again and let it dry. Then i added the trinkets. Sorry i dont have pictures...
