A fun, versatile gift idea

These were the fun cans we did for the kid's school and church teachers.  I learned about this fantastic idea this summer at a So Cal swap meet from the Pampered Chef sales woman!  To make them you open the bottom with a rim-less can opener, clean it out, fill it with a yummy treat, and then super-glue the bottom back on. I make the labels and tops in Photoshop and print them at a photo lab.  Then mod-podge (my new best friend!) and a little double-sided tape do the job securing them!   Then a little tag that surprises the receiver as they get to pop the top to open it!
This is the actual label:


I've made a bunch of these this last year for birthdays, holidays, babies, grandparents day, neighbors, visiting teachers, etc. etc. Here are a few others!

  1. That's a great idea. Once again, I find myself wishing I had photoshop. I guess I'll put it on my wishlist.
