WHAT YOU NEED

1 64 oz. NESQUIK Powder canister.
Utility knife
Glue stick
Craft glue gun
Safety scissors
2 - 8 1/2 by 11 inch sheets of dark brown velvet paper, (found in the album section of craft stores)
2 - 8 1/2 by 11 inch sheets of chestnut brown velvet paper, (found in the album section of craft stores)
1 package of colored feathers (available in craft stores)
1/8 inch hole punch
3 foot length of yellow nylon ribbon
1 foot length of 1/2-inch wide red ribbon

HOW TO DO IT

Print out the trim template.
Cut out two pieces of dark brown velvet paper to fit around the canister. Secure the trimmed paper to the canister with a glue stick.
Use the template as a pattern to cut the trim from chestnut brown velvet paper.
Punch holes in each of the triangle tips, about 1/4 inch from the point, with a 1/8 inch hole punch.
Using a craft glue gun, glue on the trim (leaving the triangle tips unglued).
Cut a circle 8 inches in diameter from chestnut brown velvet paper. With a hot glue gun, glue the circle to the top center of the lid, leaving the yellow border of the plastic lid exposed.
Cut a piece of yellow nylon string to measure 3 feet long. Thread through the holes on the triangle trim following a zig-zag pattern from top to bottom (see image). Tie the ends together.
Cut one piece of 1/2-inch wide red ribbon to measure 5 inches long. Glue three feathers to the end of the ribbon with a craft glue gun. Glue the other end of the ribbon just below the rim of the lid.
