How-to: Wallpaper-Wrapped Waste Can

Mary Britton Senseney

Materials Needed:
- trash can
- wallpaper
- pencil
- scissors
- hot glue gun and glue
Step 1
Lay the wallpaper on the floor with the printed side down. Turn a wastebasket on its side and lay it on the wallpaper.
Step 2
Roll the can over the wallpaper, tracing the can’s top and bottom edges as you go. TIP: To get the perfect shape to cover a tapered can, roll the can over the wallpaper and trace the top arc, then the bottom one. If you want, mark a starting point on the wastebasket with tape to make sure you complete a full rotation.
Step 3
Cut the wallpaper along the markings and wrap it around the can. Trim to fit.
Step 4
Use a hot-glue gun to secure the seam where the edges overlap.
