  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    Step one, get all your stuff together. Tin, decorative paper, ribbon, pretties and tools.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Measure the height and diameter of your container and cut out your paper. Stick it on, I used glue because it's easier to position the paper.
    I like to leave the metal rim at the bottom showing:]


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Cut two lengths of ribbon and stick at the top and bottom, this covers the edges of the paper and finishes it off nicely.
    I line up the joins with the join in the paper. I've used thin double sided tape with a glue dot at the ends, but use whatever floats your boat:]

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Best bit - stick on the pretties!

    You could leave it with just the paper and ribbon but why would ya?
