Jubilee Holiday Tutorial

The first of five tutorials at Soul Scrappers - this was my tutorial, that has been received well....


Celebratory Surprises

(Or changing Ring Pull cans into
present containers)


I first saw this idea demonstrated by a local friend of mine Felicity, & have adapted my cans accordingly.

Step one

Collect any sized can, BUT it has to have a ring pull at one end.  Choose fruit or vegetable cans, as fish (tuna) will probably keep their smell.


I choose 2 sized cans of corn kernels, & also some condensed milk.
(So with the heap of corn I made a big batch of Corn Relish.)


Step two

Using a can opener, take off the other end of the can (not the Ring Pull end), & rinse & dry completely including the end that was taken off.


 If you have a pet, do check that all is OK with them…my cat Bob came & sat on the dining table that I was using for this tutorial…& he is never allowed to sit there & has never done before!  Quality control I think it is!!

He is seen in a number of photos - not camera shy my lovely lad!



Step three

Fill your Celebratory Surprise Can with –

Lollies (wrapped),
Chocolates (wrapped)
Clothing
Jewellery
Gift Vouchers

Anything that can fit into the sized can you have chosen.  I choose lollies & chocolates for some of mine, because I know they will be opened soon. 


Chocolates


Beer holder & a packet of Cow Seeds – to grow your own herd!! For Bernard.
 
Little pressies – jewellery, nailpolish & headband for Hayley.

Step four

Carefully attach the end with sticky tape.  My can opener leaves quite a sharp cut edge, so I have covered that in tape before adhering on with more tape.

 



Step five

Cover tin with selected papers – just measure & fit to size.  I have used double sided tape, with 3 long pieces & a piece on the overlapping edge too.


 
 

Step six

Then add ribbons, embellishments & tags – whatever you like.



Step seven

Then add ribbons, paper strips, any embellishments & tags, & voila a great present sitting under the tree for Fred or Bernard or Hayley!


 FINISHED PRODUCTS

HOPE YOU HAVE A WHIRL AT MAKING THESE, & GIVE AWAY AS THE RECEIVER ALWAYS FINDS THEM FUN!
Cheers, Debi
