I carefully added Mod Podge to just the back of the paper (to keep the matte look of the paper), lined the paper up with the lip of the can and wrapped rubber bands around the can to hold the paper in place while it dried. Using rubber bands is a great trick to make sure that the paper adheres well to the curved surface of the can.
I don’t know about you, but while I love looking at those elaborate projects that take other people days to do (and would take me weeks), I prefer the quick and easy projects I can squeeze into my day between all my other responsibilities. I guess I have a short attention span (or a busy life).

Super cute idea! I love all these tin can ideas I see.
Cynthia Landrie says
This is a really good idea. It is a really great way to reuse the metal can. I just hate to throw those things away. Thanks for linking this up to the In and Out of the Kitchen link party.

There is no greater gift than time, and spending time making a thoughtful gift like this was so nice of you and I’m sure Janeth (never heard that name before) loved it xx
Linda Thorne says
Thank you! I love the tin cans!

Love the ideas! PicMonkey isn’t free though. It does offer a 7 day free trial.

I clicked on the PicMonkey link…it is NOT free.
Susan says
I’m sorry, Rose. PicMonkey used to be free. Try Pixlr. They have a free version and I’ll update the post.
