Halloween projects


For some people, they have money to purchase paint cans, in which to decorate, and put gift's in them for either birthdays, or holidays! This is my "cheap" version of the paint cans, done with a large coffee can!



Items used:

Basic black cardstock

Ribbon in Halloween colors

Paper piecings or other misc. Halloween themed items such as stickers or die cuts.

Step one: Take the cardstock, you will need to use 2 sheets for a large can. Normally, I will measure the second sheet, as you will only need to use a portion of that second sheet for the can.

Step two: Fold down the paper into the can. Take your ribbon, and place on the bottom portion of the can, using hot glue to tack it down.

Step three: At the place where the cardstock meet, cameflauge it by placing either a paper piecing, stickers, or other items strategically.

Step four: Get tissue paper for the inside of the can, place the gift on the inside of the tissue paper.

This can be used as a decoration, or a gift for that special someone in your life! Enjoy, this is the first of many projects for you to enjoy. Make sure to send me back of a picture of what you've created too, for us to add to our site!
