Primary TechniqueOther
Materials List
- 1 empty Tide laundry pods container or other Brand
- Ghost template
- Printer paper OR 8.5×11 blank adhesive label OR black adhesive vinyl
- Liquid glue (if not using adhesive)
- Scissors (if not using a cutting machine)
Instructions
-
Remove the label from the laundry pods container by soaking in hot water, scraping, and then using GooGone to remove completely. You can also use a heat gun to warm the label but the ease of this option varies based on the brand. For instance, I found using a heat gun to be easy on Gain containers but difficult on Tide containers.
-
Remove the top from the container and discard.
-
Print template and cut.
-
Apply the template to the side of the container.
