    That's all really. Took me two tries to get it looking half decent. The spray adhesive I bought was terrible, it didn't stick the paper to the plastic, but it stuck itself to the plastic pretty well. I dunno what took longer, cutting out the stencil or cleaning the adhesive scum off the lid. This was my first attempt at painting anything at all.

    Octopus on a laptop, almost as entertaining as snakes on a plane.
