There is really nothing to this project, it literally took me like 10 minutes. Just lay your fabric right side down and wrap it around your canister. I used mod podge to adhere the fabric. If your fabric has a pattern like mine, make sure it lines up where the ends meet. {To keep the fabric from fraying later on I also mod podged over the seam.} Using the mod podge, wrap the fabric tightly around the bottom and top side of the canister.
Do the same for the lid as well. Once you glue the ends down, run some mod podge over them to keep them from fraying later on.
After the mod podge is all dry you can add your base. I used a candle holder. Before I glued it to the bottom of the canister, I made sure I got the candle holder centered and then traced an outline as a guide. Then I used a lot of hot glue to make that sucker stick good!
And wallah!!
I wrapped my lid separately because I had originally planned to keep brushes inside the canister. However, I didn't think it through enough because the skinny base made it tip over when I added the weight of the brushes. The skinny base does hold up perfectly for the headbands and a wider base would work great for using the canister as a brush holder as well!
Stay tuned for the third and final bathroom makeover project. I will also be posting all the before pics that motivated me to do this makeover. What organizing projects have you completed?

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I’ll be making
ReplyDeleteThis for my nieces ����
Just made it without the stand. I placed a plastic container that fits tight inside the box
ReplyDeleteWhere she can keep the hair tights and doesn’t have to go all the way to the bottom of the long box to fetch them 😃. Thank you for the idea!
I just made a unicorn version with unicorn print. Put a strip of ribbon down so i cN put hair clips on it. Plus i added ribbon at the top & bottim. Painted my candleholder with a blue sparkle. Adding a top from a wood piece that i painted & added a glass swirly knob. If wood piece slids just glue some wood pieces inside the container.
