Step 3Fixing up the bottom
1. Trim paper sticking out beyond the canister bottom to extend just about half the diameter of the canister. Reserve any scraps for the bow!
2. Apply double-sided tape inside circumference of canister. Large canisters often have a lip of 1/4 inch or so. For these, apply tape to inside of lip. For other canisters, apply to flat bottom just inside the outer edge.
3. Use scissors to snip into extending paper about every half inch. TIP: It's much, much easier to apply the double-sided tape before snipping the bottom edge.
4. Adhere paper in sequence, folding carefully over the canister edge for a smooth appearance. You should get a neat spiral. You may want to add a couple additional pieces of double-sided tape to center of canister to hold paper ends.
5. Adhere final paper ends with some transparent tape
Optional: Cut a circle of matching or contrasting paper smaller than the canister bottom and adhere to bottom, over the taped-down strips. This is also great to do with a piece of coordinating paper if you don't have enough of the original piece to cover the whole bottom.
