Spray adhesive and paint cans

[stampinCPA]

I bought some paint cans to make for the teachers (thanks to all here for the great ideas). I went into AC Moore to get some super sticky tape and the lady there suggested using spray adhesive on the whole paint can to adhere the paper. Has anyone tried this? TIA!

I havve been trying to figure out the best adhesive for these...I have finally resorted to using the dollar store double sided sticky tape...lots of it, if anyone has other suggestions would love to hear them.

Good luck with your paint cans

I haven't done any paint cans yet, but I'd be afraid that by using the spray adhesive I'd get it in places where I don't want it.

HI!

I also use the dollar store double sided tape, and so far (fingers crossed!) it has worked great.

this is another alternative... I made a paint can once and, because I wanted to protect the image on it, I cut the paper about 1/4" smaller on top and bottom, adhered the paper with double-sided tape, and then covered the whole thing with clear contact paper. That was nearly 7 years ago and the can still looks good.

I have done a paint can, but I used decoupoge and it works great.

Could you spray the adhesive on the paper and then wrap it around the can? Then you would have better control over where the adhesive went.

I have made small pint paint cans at one of my stamp camps and we just cut the paper to size (height) and made the length slightly longer and just adhered the paper to paper and we have had no problems at all. I don't know if the bigger paint cans are just to big to be able to do that but hope it works. What about SU's sticky tape I can't believe that wouldn't work.

I just made these this week. I used sticky tape and only had to use it in four places (one strip running verticle a quarter of the way around the can). Works great!

I have made many of these as well and all I�ve ever used is the spray adhesive by 3M and I've yet to experience any problems. I found it to be much more cost effective and it does the job just as good as anything else that I�ve tried.

I guess it's a matter of preference. ;)

I have made many of these and you really should use the "Tacky Tape". Carol
