Cut the first strip of scrapbook paper to measure the width of the can plus 1 cm overlap and the height of the paper should be half of the can’s height. 2. Cut the second strip of scrapbook paper to measure the width of the can plus one cm overlap and the height of the paper should be half of the can’s height plus 1 cm overlap. 3. Place double sided adhesive on the short ends of both strips of paper. 4. Remove the paper backing from the adhesive of the smaller strip. Wrap this strip around the top half of the can, making sure it is is fitting tightly. 5. Remove the paper backing from the adhesive of the second strip. Wrap it now tightly around the can. This strip will overlap the first by 1 cm in the middle of the can. 6. Cut a strip of textured cardstock that is 2 cm high. Place double sided adhesive on both of the short ends and (keeping the seam to the back) wrap it over the middle of the can, covering the overlap of the scrapbook papers. 7. Cut a 1 cm high strip of the lighter colored scrapbook paper and lay it aside. 8. Die cut 5 butterflies out of the textured cardstock. Take now the 1 cm high strip and insert it through the butterflies. Once all butterflies are on the strip, place double sided adhesive on both short ends of the strip and lay in the center over the 2cm strip of textured cardstock from step 6. 9. Turn the butterflies to the left and to the right and bend their wings outwards for more dimension. ..........................................................................................................................................   Related Crafts and Projects: Recycling Crafts Packaging out of plastic, metal and paper and other things we discard in the trash can be used for fun craft projects that are not only inexpensive but also help keep our our environment cleaner as well.
