Next, put a line of glue around the bottom of the can. Take one end of the strand of twine and set into the glue. Use gloved hand to hold twine in place to dry, and ensure the strand is in line with the bottom of the can.

STEP 3

Rotate can and add more glue in line with the current strand. Place twine into the glue and hold to dry.

STEP 4

Repeat process and continue to glue and wrap twine up the can. After each time gluing, press twine downwards to close any gaps between strands.
