- 1 yard of ½"-wide grosgrain ribbon
Tools
- Measuring tape
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Scissors
- X-Acto blade
- Spray adhesive
- Tacky glue
How-to
1. Measure the height and circumference of the cookie tin, adding 1/2" to the circumference for overlap.
2. Transfer the measurements to the wallpaper and cut out your pieces with scissors or an X-Acto blade.
3. Place the lid top-side down on your paper and trace around it. Cut out the circle with scissors.
4. Apply an even layer of spray adhesive to the back side of your paper and carefully wrap it around the tin, smoothing down the paper as you go. Apply adhesive to the circle and press it onto the lids.
5. Measure the circumference of the lids and cut a piece of ribbon to length, adding 1" for overlap.
6. Apply tacky glue to the ribbon and wrap it around the edge of the lid. For a clean look, fold the raw edge of the ribbon under 1/2", dab it with glue, and press down.
