Supplies You’ll Need:
Watering can template(stop by the store to pick one up)
Scor-Pal
(or other scoring tool)
Scissors
Paper trimmer
Glue or Double-sided sticky tape
Repositionable adhesive
Pattered Paper, at least 8 1/2” x 11”
Embellishments (optional)
Paper Flowers
- Various Spellbinders die-cuts
- Wooden sticks
- Floral Foam
- Easter grass
Step 1: Adhere template to “wrong” side of patterned paper with repositionable adhesive and cut out the four pieces: watering can body, spout, and curved handle.
Step 2: Working on the "wrong" side of the paper, score and valley fold the dashed red lines on the main watering can body. Remove template.
Step 3: Apply adhesive (glue or double-sided sticky tape) to the folds on the "right" side of the paper.
Step 4: Bring sides together to form the can body.
Step 5: Curve the front flaps and tuck into the sides of the watering can using a dab of glue or other adhesive to keep in place.
Step 6: Take the spout and fold with "wrong" sides turned to the inside as indicated by the red dashed lines in the template. Remove template.
Step 7: Apply a dab of glue to the end of the spout's inner sides to fix them together. Apply a strip of double-sided sticky tape to the base of the spout and affix to the front of the watering can body.
Step 8: Remove template and attach the curved top handle by placing a dab of glue on each end (right side up) and tucking inside the top of the can, ensuring that the handle curves to the back.
Step 9: Create a back handle by cutting a 6” x 3/4” strip of paper. Fold the handle at the ends (about 1/2” fold).
Step 10: Apply glue or sticky tape to the right side of the folded ends.
Step 11: Glue to the back of the can to form a ‘D’ shape.
Step 12: Your watering can is now complete and ready to be decorated as you wish! I cut out designs from coordinating patterned paper and adhered them with 3-D foam. Using various Spellbinder die-cuts and 3-D foam, I created flowers. I then adhered the flowers to sticks and arranged them in the watering can using floral foam and grass.
