INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut napkins to size vertically as these cannot be folded over. Also, cut napkins so the scenes you choose will fit properly around the can. Napkins must be one-ply to correctly adhere to can. If napkins are two-ply, they must be separated.
- With the foam brush, spread mod podge on the can and smooth the napkins on.
- Mod podge over the napkins carefully as to not tear the napkins. Set aside to dry.
- Cut a length of wide ribbon and hot glue to the inside of the can.
- Cut a piece of floral foam and place inside the can.
- Add floral sprigs to fill the can, pushing into the floral foam.
- Place Spanish moss inside the can to fill and allow to spill out.
- Add embellishments and twine if desired.
The great thing about this craft is that you can use any napkin design of your choosing, I think this napkin would also make a fabulous cover.
For the spring you could use these floral stems and this napkin design. Well, you get the idea. So many options.
