Can It!

Bringing back an oldie but a goodies for Stamp Club this week. Gift wrapping in a can. I love the surprise on the face of the recipient when you hand them a can and they know they have to ruin it to open it! It's kind of a twisted joke! :)
This can was a can of Del Monte fruit. It can be done with ANY can that has a pop top opening. those squatty pineapple cans are darling for this!

1. Open the can from the bottom with a safety can opener. A safety can opener allows you to have the entire lid without it being sharp. You can't do this with a regular can opener.
2. Eat the contents. Wash and dry the can & lid.
3. Stuff the gift in the can. If using food or candy that is unwrapped, I suggest you put it in a bag. I don't know that the can and Crystal Effects will hurt you, but why take that chance?!
4. Add little drops of Crystal Effects to the rim of the lid and place onto the can. Turn right side up and set something heavy (like a book) on it for about 5 minutes until dry.
5. Decorate the can.
How darling is this?? Someone special gave this to me at my Open House. She said she got the idea from BFF's blog! Thank you!!
