decoupage

New member here :) I have a 6 page report due tomorrow morning and I just keep looking around this site instead of working lol.

A little over a week ago I cleaned my room and was stumped as what to do with the excessive amount of pens/pencils/highliters I have. I told my boyfriend about my dilemma and he told me to put them all in a can, and I just so happened to have one :) I tried to decorate the can with construction paper but it wasnt working out how I wanted so I decided to cut out words from magazines and paste them on all around the can. Here are some pictures.







After it was done I had my grandpa coat it with 2 coats of polyurethane (done after the pictures were taken) to seal it and make it shiny, and however yellowed the color a bit but it still looks good. All words were taken from just 1 issue of Cosmopolitan. Very easy and fun :)
