Following a trip to Paris, I spied this wastebasket at TJMaxx and after getting it home I realized that a photo we took with the Eiffel Tower in the background, fit almost perfectly into the photo of the Eiffel Tower on the wastebasket. I used glossy Mod Podge to attach the photo and then covered the entire side of the wastebasket with a few more coats of Mod Podge.
The photo of the Arc de Triomphe isn't in exact proportion but still, adding our photo to the mix makes the wastebasket unique and a constant reminder of our lovely trip.
I am linking to many of these BLOG PARTIES

This is so cool, can't believe how great your pictures look If I were you I would use that can on the counter for towels or something, seems like a waste (pardon the pun) to have it on the floor! Great Job!
What an original idea. Love it!

That looks so fun!! I'm coming from Thrifty Thursday at Bloggeritaville. From the way the link was written I thought (for a second) that the name of your blog was "The Enchanted Wastebasket".......I had to come and find out for sure. :-D Great project!!
VERY cool! I love your blog and I'm your newest follower. I found you on New Friend Friday!
Those turned out great! Makes me think I need to jazz up my wastebaskets a little!
Excellent...I think the upholstery tacks just make it all the better too.
