Step One: Wash out the container that you plan on using.

Step Two: Peel off the paper that was on the container so it is bare.

Step Three: Measure the paper by holding it up to the container. Tip: I usually mark the paper with a pen so that I know where to make my cut.

Step Four: Cut the paper with scissors or paper cutter.

Step Five: Put glue in the corners of the paper first so that the corners will be secure. Continue to add small amounts of glue to the paper as you adhere it to the container.
