((NICOLE GIBBONS)) Shelli, every home office space needs to be functional, and one thing that you’re absolutely gonna need when you’re in your office working is a waste basket. ((SHELLI)) A trashcan, yes. ((NICOLE)) So, we’re gonna make one that’s really pretty using a decoupage technique. ((SHELLI)) Yay! ((NICOLE)) Alright, so our tissue is really thin, so we’re actually gonna do two layers of paper. And we’re gonna start with the solid blue paper. ((SHELLI)) Okay. ((NICOLE)) Put the waste basket at the edge of the paper. Cut straight along that line, fold that one side up, and then cut along this edge. For our next step, you’re gonna take your decoupage glue, apply it directly onto the garbage can. ((SHELLI)) Alright. ((NICOLE)) You can be very generous. ((SHELLI)) Okay. ((NICOLE)) And then we’re gonna wrap it around. ((SHELLI)) Do you want me to smooth it out? ((NICOLE)) Yeah, use your hands to smooth it out. Now that we have our first layer of paper down… ((SHELLI)) Mmm hmm ((NICOLE)) the next step is to use more decoupage paste and paste right over it. We’re gonna cover all four sides. And I love working with decoupage glue because it’s gonna dry very clear and glossy, and it will have a nice kind of hard, lacquered-like finish. ((SHELLI)) Great! ((NICOLE)) And it’ll look really cool. We’re gonna add our final step, which is the really pretty decorative paper that we picked out. So, then we’re just gonna wrap this around. So, we’re gonna take a little bit more of this glue sealer paste… ((SHELLI)) Okay. ((NICOLE)) and just give it a nice final coat. Let it dry and we’re done. ((SHELLI)) Okay! Great. I love it! It was very easy.
