    1. Wipe down the container thoroughly with a damp paper towel.

    3. Using a 1" flat brush, paint the entire can in Soft Jade. Cut cardstock in a width to fit the chosen stamp and in a length to wrap around the can. Using Red Barn, repeat the chosen stamp on the strips of cardstock.
    4. Instruction #2
    5. Brush Americana Matte Decou-Page onto the top and bottom of the can and the back of the cardstock strips. Position the strips and press into place. Brush a coat of Decou-Page over the cardstock strips.

    7. Print the desired text onto transparency sheets.
