Supplies:

  • container
  • masking tape
  • red spray paint
  • measuring tape
  • marker
tape, tape measure, and can of spray paint
 

Steps:

  1. Gather your supplies. Clean the container if necessary before applying tape and the spray paint.
  2. clean white cylinder
     
  3. Depending on the size of the container, use the measuring tape and marker to equally mark the spaces of the bricks and divisions.
  4. using a measuring tape and Sharpie to mark divisions on cylinder
     
  5. After measuring, apply the masking tape slowly all around and repeat. If it is a round container you will have to bend the tape slightly when turning in order to make a complete and even circle. For the divisions it is easiest to tear at once all the same size tape.You will continually form a "T" or "football goal post" whichever image helps more.
  6. horizontal lines of tape applied with vertical ones stuck to rim

  7. Spray paint with nice smooth strokes until complete. Wait a couple minutes for it to fully dry. Remove the masking tape slowly. For any spots use a rag to wipe off. Finally place where you want it, fill it, and enjoy ! :)
