Decorated Gift Container |
|
|
Give your gifts in this huge WOW factor container.
Supplies
- Cleaned dried cylindrical container (example: coffee tin, oatmeal holder)
- Artificial flowers, leaves, berries, birds, including one long strand which wraps around the container about 1 1/2 to 2 times
- Contact paper or paint
- Hot glue gun
Steps
- Cover the container with contact paper to eliminate any label. Alternatively, spray or craft paint the container and let dry.
- Starting at the top edge of the container (not inside), hot glue the long strand of leaves working in a downward spiral direction.
- Hot glue an arrangement of artificial leaves and flowers near the top of the container. Hide wires with single leaves.
- Working in a downward spiral direction, hot glue another arrangement of items on the container.
- Repeat until you reach the bottom of the container. There should be only 3 or 4 arrangements depending on the container size.
- Hot glue an arrangement on the lid, including a focal piece such as a bird.
Voila! So impressive. NOTE: This craft can be designed with a theme in mind. Example: use red and pink items and hearts for Valentine's Day, or autumn leaves and dried grasses for Thanksgiving time.

RE: Decorated Gift Container
This a great way to wrap odd shapped items. Also can be a great way to get the kids involved in helping with gifts.
