Fabric-Covered Canisters

O atmeal canisters become the perfect storage containers to repurpose for storing anything you can imagine - in my case, knitting needles I'm not using, or even yarn, scissors, patterns and supplies for current knitting projects. No doubt you'll find plenty of uses for this terribly useful project.



1) Measure your canister, adding two inches to the top and four inches to the side.



2) Cover your table in newspaper (ideally, one that features an interview with Will Arnett). Press a 1" hem on the top and bottom edges.



3) Open pressed seams and lightly coat with spray adhesive to secure.



4)Continue to spray entire area of fabric, starting at one end, and adhere to canister. Work in small sections to keep process manageable.



5) It helps to line up the bottom of the canister first, since it will be exposed.



6) Fold the remaining side hem under, press, and spray. Since this will also be exposed, its worth lining up neatly.
