Step 3

Take one-piece of fabric that measures 1"x3" (2,5cm x 8 cm). Right now glue only one piece of fabric onto the cardboard. This will be the inside of the barrel.

Set it aside and let it dry.

Step 5

Select your trim and glue it on the outside of both square pieces.

This will hide the edge of the cardboard.

Put them aside and let them dry.
