Sorry it's a very short project but I guess we need those too! Thanks for the comments!
Supplies:
Recycled can any size ( used a dog food can) washed out and paper removed COLORBOK PAPER PLUS "Chateau Noir" scrapbook paper craft stamps from Michael's dollar bin foam stamps from my stash black fine tip marker watercolor markers: red yellow orange clothespins or some type of clips
1. Start by wrapping your selected piece of paper (my stack was 12x12) around the can and marking where you want the overlap to take place at. The I cut the piece as tall as the can plus 2 inches more to fold over into can. Cut along that l line.
2. Apply glue on can and wrap paper around can. Take scissors and clip down from the top of the extra paper to the top of the can. Apply glue and fold tabs over top of can and use clothespins to hold down until they dry.
3. I took one of the cut outs from the paper pack and cut a square and glued a white piece of paper stamped with spider web and BOO! on it framing it with the cutout from the paper. I took this and glued it in a diamond angle on the top of the can again clipping with a clothespin. Also, make sure you stamp it the way you want to display it.
4. That's it! You have a spooky pencil can or make-up brush holder!
Yes, I used some watercolor markers on the details of the stamps. I have a limited supply of stamps so the same ones will keep popping up so that I can get a different look. Thanks for the rely.
Beautiful project an dwith so many amazing details.

Nice altered pencil can. No project/ post is easy or short. Every single post/project takes time! You spent yours well on this one! I love all things Halloween too!
My precious grandpuppy, Yoshi! He went through gastrointestinal surgery for an obstruction in August and almost didn't make it. It is now November and he is doing so well just can't eat hard food:( But I love mushing his food twice a day and feeding my beautiful baby boy:)
