I ran into the art supply store last week to grab a pair of blunt scissors for Yosef's upshernish and I couldn't leave the store without browsing at the beautiful art supplies...including their fabulous selection of papers.
All the papers were 50% off that day and I was immediately drawn to this gorgeous marbleized paper. I had no idea what I was going to do with it but I loved the colors and at half price I couldn't leave the store without it.
Our new home has a powder room that needed a prettier trash can than the old metal one that was there. I grabbed my Mod Podge and started covering the back of the paper.
While the paper was still wet, I covered the can, rolling it on all sides and smoothing out any air pockets. The bottom was tucked underneath the can and the top was cut with a sharp e-xacto knife. A final coat of Mod Podge seals the paper.
The walls still need to be painted but this looks so much better, right?
Very easy, cheap and chic!
