The kids bath has a map theme and the boring white plastic trash can was really getting on my nerves. Since we now live in the DMV area I thought covering the trash can with a map of D.C would be fun. I'd never worked with decoupage before so this is my inaugural project!
Here's what you need...
I cut out specific landmarks such as the national monuments that I wanted to be clearly displayed and adhered them first...
The next step is sort of like doing a puzzle where you actually cut the peices to fit. The "Roseanne" puzzle. If you never saw that episode it's a hoot!
Here is the final product after filling in all the gaps and giving it three coats of decoupage...
**Tip- Inbetween coats of decoupage, wrap your paint brush in plastic wrap. This will prevent the glue from drying and the brush from getting hard.**
