These are the cans I made for goodies to give to neighbors. I thought I'd post them because I had a really hard time finding anything on the net that had cute altered Christmas cans. Not that these are cute...but they are another option for those that are looking! These are just formula cans that I saved. I had so many of them that I hated to just throw them away! Those types of things are always useful. These cans were basically just sprayed with adhesive (3M is what I used) and then covered with cut paper. I also cut out some vinyl sayings and put those on and used some ribbon to cover the seams. I put cellophane in the inside that coordinated and then stuffed the little goodies inside.Thursday, April 30, 2009

I love those cans! They are so cute! I really enjoyed your link to your picasa album. I need to do that! It was so fun to see pics of your family and kids! We miss you too much! It made me chuckle to see J.J. doing crafts in his unders. Hee hee hee. Chase is getting so big and so cute! I bet his personality is so fun. Have I mentioned that I miss you?
