Home made Candy containers

Supplies: Peanut/mixed nuts can, Tacky Glue, Scrapbook paper, ribbon, scissors.

Start with using an old peanut tin.





You want to make sure to clean out the inside of the can, in case the person receiving the gift has any peanut allergies.




Cut a piece of scrapbook paper wide enough to cover the outside of the container.




In most cases, the paper wont fit all the way around the tin. I usually can get away with cutting the strip in half. Which leaves a tiny gab.





Don't worry about this gap,  you can cover it up with the ribbon. Glue a strip of ribbon around the Candy container. Make sure to leave enough room for the bow on top.





I usually put some tissue paper inside the tin and then fill it up with candy or cookies. This is a very cheap and easy way to make Christmas gifts/birthday presents. :)
