Deadpool Folgers Canister
A couple years ago, I made a discovery. I learned that applying a Deadpool decal to a Folger's can, was extremely satisfying. It was the perfect shade of red and the black lid complemented the black vinyl. So, I decided, any time I have a leftover Folger's can, I was going to slap a Deadpool decal on it. This was a totally doable goal since I don't drink coffee, and I just keep it around for the occasional visitor.
So, when I cut the decal for last week's star sign, I also cut a Deadpool decal that I found using a Google search. I cut it using standard cutting settings for vinyl (though, as I learned from the star sign, I probably should have set it to two passes).
I cut the label off of the Folger's can and ran it through the dishwasher on the top rack. Then I cut around the Deadpool decal and grabbed my vinyl pick.
The decal weeded pretty well, but it didn't cut around the "I" in Maximum very well. I had to pull it apart. It tore the vinyl a bit, but I was able to trim it with a craft knife.
I got out some paper transfer tape and cut the square the same size as the design.
Then I applied the tape to the decal as straightly as I could. Then I carefully rubbed all of the vinyl letters so that I would be sure they would all stick when I peeled the transfer tape up.
Then I applied the decal to the Folgers container. I tried to line it up with the ridges in the canister as best as I could so that the decal would be straight. Then I rubbed the vinyl again to make sure that it would stick to the canister.
Once again, I was extremely pleased with my recycled nerdy storage container and have a renewed interest in my pledge to make Deadpool canisters out of every old Folgers can. At least the ones in my house.
