Guiding Garbage Cans

• Purchase enough garbage cans for 1 per person
• You will need to sand the entire garbage can before you can beginning
• Make sure you sand the entire surface, you may need 2 or 3 piece of sand paper each
• Choose what colour you will paint the base coast of your pail. Using ceramic paint in the colour that you have chosen paint the entire outer surface of the garbage can
• When paint is fully dry, using a few old Girl Guide magazines cut out picture that you like or that relate to your level of Guiding.
• Using decoupage glue mixture paste the pictures randomly onto the pail. Making sure to put some paste under the picture and on top.
• When you have all your pictures in place where you want them, using the decoupage mixture do an all over cover of the garbage can to ensure all pictures remain on the can and also helps give the pail a top clear coat.
• You now have a great looking Guiding garbage pail for your bedroom or bathroom
