very good idea so far as "reduce, reuse, recycle" goes!
have a question though. what adhesive did you use on the paper when putting it on the can itself? i'm not a pro when it comes to adhesives, and it seems i use stuff that's just over-the-top-liquidy and ends up wrinkling the paper, or i use something not tacky enough. i just suck so yeah lol
@ibkristykat ....thanks for stopping by.... I use Scor-Tape if you go to the website that sells the Scor-Pal you will find it there. It is like the red sticky tape however where that red part of that tape sticks to your had and needs scissors to cut, this Scor-Tape can be torn with your fingers and has paper that covers the adhesive...way easier to use. I think it is cheaper too in the long run!
Gina...Regina drinks that too! Same brand...same flavor. I love this project. The handle is adorable and I love the red covered Hersey kisses inside. TFS!
SUPER cute idea Gina! LOVE these! I don't drink that kind of coffee, but I'm sure I can find some kind of can at home to try this out! hehe!! Happy Valentine's Day!!! :-) hugs, Arlene
hey, gina, it's me Del from Tigers So. Pas. I missed you last Sat. I had a little something for you. I enjoy all your videos and neat ideas. See you soon and lots of luck if you're going on Saturday. I won't, I will be in SF. Happy New Year.....:)
@iamsimplydel Hi Del!! thanks for stopping by! Happy New Year to you also! I have been busy working at a couple conferences including one this weekend so I won't be there :( .....thanks for thinking of me. I am sure we will see each other soon!
This ia such a great idea! I have a bunch of these tins b/c I drink a cup almost every night. I am definitely going to make a tret box for my nephews for Valentines and maybe one for my craft room to hold my charms or something! TFS!
Gina these are such wonderful altered tins. I love them. It would be wonderful if we went all out on Valentines Day over here in Australia but usually it is only for the young lol but I must say those tins are gorgeous.
Adorable. I noticed that you had brads holding on a ribbon pull on the top. It looked as if the brads went all the way through the red lid. Do you have problems with ripping? (I also noticed the charms hanging from the side of the lid.) My husband just shakes his head now whenever I rescue from the garbage what I see as a treasure. I love decorating containers. Yours are really sweet.
@DeraLynnD Hi, thanks for the comment. Actually the one with the ribbon pull is just bling glued utop the ribbon once it was glued into place and the one where the charm is, I used a paper piercer to poke the hole and it went through just fine with no splitting. The lid is a soft plastic so cracking and tearing are less likely to occur.
what cute boxes! i love that pompom trim! love altering things. thanks for sharing :)! much aloha~! i love international coffee...i think it was the french vanilla...;p'
Wow!! Gina, those are adorable!! I remember my Aunt keeping our crayons in those containers 30+ years ago...lol They were a lot heavier than the ones today and they would rust like crazy if we got water in them. funny what we remember!
What a CUTE project! I love how you put the "Feet" on them!!!!!!
