After the batting has been glued on, apply glue to the cover fabric along the edge to hold it securely while you wrap the cylinder. The overlapping edge needs a little finish, so run the gluestick along the edge and fold it under making a clean edge. Then glue stick the folded edge to hold the fabric to the canister. If you want you can use a gluegun here. I like the gluestick better because you don't have to worry about being a klutz quite so much, and that is a problem I have to deal with a lot!
