Afterlife of a formula can (Vol. 2)

My latest use for a formula can coincides with a little holiday coming up this weekend.

10 Ways to Re-Use A Formula Can (or any food can)

#2 Gift bag

Perfect for presenting a giftcard, jewelry, crafts from kids, etc.

Gather your materials: P5085192

empty, clean can, decorative paper or wrapping paper, ribbon, scissors, glue or double sided tape, gift tag

P5085195

Measure surface area of can and cut a strip of paper or wrapping paper to fit around the can

P5085203

Affix the paper to the can with glue or double sided tape. (I used a tape runner)

P5085211

Cut a piece of ribbon long enough to wrap around the can with some extra.

Slide a gift tag onto the ribbon and then tie a bow. **You can easily make a tag from scratch with some heavy paper and a hole punch.**

Stuff with your gift and some matching tissue paper and *VOILA*... not your average 99 cent gift bag.
