I was on the hunt for a thin cotton Tartan plaid fabric and had no lucking finding what I wanted. My next move, was to look at my local craft store for a plaid scrapbooking paper. No luck there either. That's when it hit me! I searched for a free Tartan Plaid pattern image and found several!
I printed out all the patterns I loved with my inkjet printer. I have an HPD110 Photosmart. I used regular printer paper.

I measured my cans, trimmed my paper accordingly and used double stick tape. If your cans are bigger around than you have paper, just cut another piece and patch it together.

I didn't stop there, I also made coasters. I'll post my tutorial on those soon!
