There are lots of ways to reuse containers for wrapping Christmas presents.
One of my favorite ways is to spray paint a large can:
Drill holes on each side to thread ribbon or cording through:
Paint a cute snowman or santa, or you can even buy a pre-painted one at the craft store, and glue it on the front:
I tied a ribbon through the holes and knotted it on the inside:
Here it is, all ready to be filled with some home made Christmas cookies:
Here is a smaller can, wrapped with scrapbook paper and a ribbon tied around the top:
This one is a "Pringles" can covered with scrapbook paper with a floral pick tied onto it with ribbon:
The ideas are endless for reusing cans!
