Step 2Wrap top in foil strips

Wrap top in foil strips
First prepare the cap by removing the flip up lid part. Cut it off with scissors or a craft knife and then cut off an lumps and bumps, such as hinge ends or catch notches. (discard the flip up part of the lid (or keep in making box for another project).

Put some double sided strips on the back of your thick foil, then cut into strips that are thin enough to fit about 5 strips with small gaps over the height of the cap. My cap had the product delivery hole slightly off center. I decided that I would make this the bottom of the lamp so I made certain that my strips all met at the bottom. We are going to cover the join up anyway.
