Halloween Treat Can

This is my first paint can using fabric instead of paper, to cover the can. It is soooooooo much easier this way!!! I just used my xacto-knife to cut an x over the handle thingys and then trimmed away the excess. It's also faster than using paper, seems to dry quicker. I finally got to use my zip-e-mate and "friendz" alphabet, aren't the letters cute? I also tried using some eyelash or furry yarn around the edges. It's not finished yet, but I just had to take a pic and share it now. I still have to tie the ribbons on the handle and add the tag. I'm debating whether to add a big pumpkin to the back (wish I had a die-cut for that!). I cut 3 big candy corns for the lid and layered the papers. I think I will be able to get 2 gallon cans from a 1/2 yard of fabric. That's why I didn't use it on the top - wanted to see.
