I started with a16" diameter sonotube.
I needed a garbage bag to fit inside and to touch the floor without the sides of the bag falling into the tube when recycling was thrown in there. I decided on 23". I measured all the way around the tube and then used a ruler and joined the marks.
A jigsaw seemed to be the best option for making the cut!
I smoothed the edges with sandpaper as the saw left them a little rough
I had to mark a straight line as a guide so the wallpaper I was using would stay straight
Applying the wallpaper was a little tricky so I added some white glue to the paper. This seemed to do the trick.
Wallpaper complete. Had to trim off the edges.
Some chalkboard paint, a bit of free hand painting, and a nice little label is created.
It needed a little something more....
I painted a border around the label.
The top and bottom edge were finished with a wrap of black electrical tape.
These work great for storing recycles and now I don't have garbage bags falling over losing their contents!
