[{"selector":"#anim-6a970e65-4c7f-42dc-acb0-8d222c7981fa","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-09427e0c-85c2-46e7-80c3-b3f5b8f58b0a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 100.60117%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Begin by painting the recycled tin cans with spray paint - inside & out

[{"selector":"#anim-44cc6b90-080b-4ab3-85cf-1f613d401b3c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-28e81918-a74e-4d27-a85b-944dc7b313e8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 100.04146%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

While THE paint is drying, cut the napkins to fit the tin cans you plan to use.

[{"selector":"#anim-9f7c28a0-adc3-460d-93dc-db1f88a61576","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fd1024ac-87a7-4030-8b24-54b32a61d26d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 100.04146%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Test each piece before applying mod podge to adhere.

Most paper napkins are three ply. Separate the layers & only use the decorative top layer for this project.

After mod podge dries, apply another coat to seal.
