Dh helped me with the form. We used this plexiglass plastic sheet that was on a poster that was going to be thrown away. Taped it so that it was angled to be smaller at bottom then top. Then paper mache on that including many layers for the bottom. I was out of flour for the first couple layers so had to use spelt! lol
Now it is almost dry and ready for paint.
Just an fyi our dump has what they call a 'Swap Shop' you don't have to bring anything to swap but you can take paint or stains for free. Many of them are new or like new, barely used, full. Free and recycling.
I'll post a pic of the can (for the can!):joker: when it is done.

I'm glad it is going good, can 't wait to see it!
