Can you elaborate on what kind of decorative paper you used? It looks like you used a roll. Did anyone try it with scrapbook paper?

to make it easier to lift the lid up without damage by prying it open, either glue a knob on top with industrial strength glue or nut and bolt a knob to the top.

wouldn’t it be extremely hard to open once closed (without a paint can key), and almost as hard to close it without damage?

I hope everyone reading this gets to use a new, unused paint can, not an old can cleaned up. The new cans at major home improvement stores would suffice, but I would use any can that had paint stored in it.

You may have answered thiss question already..I couldn’t read through all of them…but, when you use it and you want to close it, do you have to hammer like a normal paint can? I can’t see that as being very good at opening and closing..what are you suggestions?
