Project of the Week ~ Can of Kisses

Start with a can of fruit, veggies, etc., that has a pop top like the one pictured above.

Using a can opener designed to remove lids safely, with smooth edges, remove the BOTTOM of your can.

Take the label off, and measure it to see what size paper you’ll need to replace it.

For this can, I used a 4 1/8″ x 10″ piece of plain pink copy paper.

Using the Tumbling Hearts, I stamped randomly all over my pink paper with red ink.

I then took a glitter pen, and glittered the whole sheet.

I stamped the sentiment, mounted and adhered it to the panel, and

added some glitter tape to each end for further sparkle.

The next step is to add some adhesive (wet or dry) to the back side of the panel.

Decide which will be your ‘outside’ edge, and add a bit of adhesive to that end.

Begin rolling your panel around your can, being sure that you adhere your design with the pattern facing the TOP of the can, not the bottom. (don’t ask me how I discovered this 🙂

Fill can with items of choice - candy, money, jewelry, scarf, rubber stamps from Repeat Impressions Stamps, etc….

Add a bit of glue around the outer edge of your lid, and place it back on can.

Allow to dry for handling.

Decorate the top of your can as frilly…

…or as simple as you like!

I kept this project uber-simple design-wise.
