How to Cover Paint Cans

[StampwithKarol]

I have made a couple of paint cans. Now I have been offered a job making 24 for a friend. Where do you put the "seams" I have put them down the sides under the handle. Is there a better way? I want to get the most out of the card stock. Do you use sticky strip to hold the cs? Any and all tips would be appreciated. Karol

Yes.

Doubt it.

Yes. It can withstand the tension and still hold strong. But, instead of running a whole strip down the length, maybe put 3 smaller pieces along those edges? Just to conserve it, as the stuff's not exactly cheap.

I was thinking I'd just run my cardstock through the xyron. Anybody adhere it to the can that way? recommendations?

Yep. Works great. I use the repositionable, so I can pull it off if there's a problem.
