Instructions:

Roll a 1mm thick sheet of blue clay to fit entirely around the can. Lay the Makin’s Clay®

Waves texture sheet on top of the clay. Using the roller from the Makin’s Professional ® Clay Tools, roll over the texture sheet to impress the waves onto the sheet.

Roll a 1mm thick sheet of red clay as tall as the can and wide enough to cut into 4-5 strips to decorate the can. Texture the red clay with the Stripes texture sheet. Make sure the stripes are running up and down on the red sheet.

Roll a 1mm thick sheet of white clay as tall as the can and bigger than the red sheet. Texture the clay with the Dots texture sheet.

Roll a 1 mm thick sheet of white clay. Cut out 15 stars using the small star cutter.

Let all of the clay dry.

Using the regular scissors, trim the blue sheet of clay so that it fits around the can. Spread Beacon’s™ Tacky Glue to the back of the trimmed clay sheet and apply the sheet to the can.

Cut the white sheet of clay using the Fiskars® Pinking Edgers into equal strips. Using regular scissors cut the red sheet into strips making sure the red strips are thinner than the white strips.

Glue the white strips evenly around the can. Put the first one over the seam of the blue clay. Glue the red strips on top of the white strips.
