Follow the manufacturer's directions for ironing on the vinyl, applying a small area at a time. No steam! A credit card works well for pressing out any air bubbles that you might get along the way (figure E).

4. Apply a narrow strip of double-sided tape down each short end of the paper on the underneath side. Press the one short end to the back of the can, smoothly wrap the paper around the can and press the other end into position (figure F).

5. Paint the wooden ball the desired color. Poke a hole in the center of the plastic lid, screw on the ball through the hole and you are done! Complete remaining cans in the same way (figure G).
These canisters work especially well for arts and crafts storage, use them to organize your brushes, beads, ribbons, markers, etc.
