Broad tape, mailing tape or duct tape
Can opener or pliers
Contact paper in case your ashtray will likely be out within the climate, or some other overlaying if it will likely be in on a porch or carport or different overlaying, like recycled upholstery materials or recycled reward wrap or what have you ever
Scissors
A couple of gallon of sand from the kids sand field (do kids nonetheless have these?)
Slotted spoon or a brand new pooper scooper

That is effective for indoors, on a porch or out within the yard. However if you wish to cowl it with material or reward wrap or one thing that does not have to get moist, simply observe the identical directions and sew any material chances are you’ll use down the aspect of the cans turning underneath the sting and utilizing small stitches. Gluing down any paper you might be utilizing and tucking in on the prime and backside as earlier than and gluing in place.
