1. Use your black marker to measure and mark your fake fur to fit the top, base and sides of your garbage can. Use a ruler to make sure the main part you wrap around the body is straight.
2. Have an adult help you cut out the circles for the top and bottom and use the excess fur to wrap around the side.
3. Wrap double stick carpet tape around the top and bottom of your can. Be careful not to go over the opener.
4. Attach the fur.
5. Remember to cut out a hole for the opener.
