How to Upcycle a Container

  1. Measure the dimensions of the container and cut patterned paper to fit. Cut a coordinating strip for across the middle of the container. The strip will be the anchor for our embellishment.

  1. Lift the yellow backing from an Adhesive Sheet 12 x 12″. I love these sheets! They are simple to apply and no extra tools required to cover large surfaces. Adhesive Sheets provide edge-to-edge permanent adhesive coverage. They’re perfect for die cutting and punching too!
