Decorated Coffee Can Containers for Gifts
|
I save large tin coffee cans to use as containers I give my baked treats away with. This is the Christmas theme I used. I am not camera savvy, sorry.
I used ribbon in different sizes and types wrapping the cans and ending with large bows in the back.( before I did this step I cut a small matching piece to glue along the seam of the can to better hide the seam).
I cut slits in lids and ran curling ribbon through, tied bells to that before I curled the ribbon as a finishing touch and placed a bow over that. Most cans I used 2 colors or designs of ribbon. One can I covered in wrapping paper then used ribbon. The possibilities for decorating ideas for these are endless and you're recycling.
Tip: Go to a few different stores after each main holiday to catch the sales and you will get a great assortment of ribbon and decorations at a huge discount to use for the next holiday. Most of mine I paid between 75 to 90% off original prices.

If you buy Folger's Coffee it comes in Green and Red Plastic Cans. That would save you painting the can and ready with Christmas colours. I love your idea anyway.
