  Step 1

  Start by measuring your coffee can, both height and circumference.

• 

  Step 2

  Next, measure and cut your wrapping paper to fit the can, plus a little extra width so the paper overlaps a bit and can be secured properly.

• 

  Step 3

  Next, decorate your paper if you are designing your own. I chose a hand-drawn pattern of gold triangles, white polka dots, silver triangles, and black x's.

  Step 4

  You can use a decorative tape to secure the paper around the coffee can; alternatively, you can run a thin line of glue up the inside edge of the paper - overlap it, press, smooth, and let dry.

• 

  Step 5

  If your fitted plastic lid is either not a completely solid color, or if it is a color you don't like, spray paint the lid to compliment your paper covering.

  On the inside of the lid, draw a rectangle with pencil, big enough to fit the largest coin you'll be depositing. Use a craft knife to gently and exactly cut along the lines.

• 

  Step 6

  Fit your dried and cut lid onto your paper-covered can. You're done!
