Now this was a fun, very inexpensive project!
Using tin cans as little "pails" to hold your holiday gifts. You could even hang them on a tree or on the mantle!
I found this project in a craft magazine & thought I'd share it with you. I think it is a marvelous way to recycle and save alot of $ at the same time...
I simply flattened a soup can a bit just at the top (not too much or it won't stand by itself) sanded lightly, painted, embellished and varnished. Make two holes with an awl on either side for the wire handles. Fill with raffia and some small gifts or ornies!

Very cute :)
What a splendid idea! And I'm sure yours are beyond lovely. I'll bet the magazine article from which you learned it was not as clever as your interpretation!

I'm back to say that when I said "I'm sure" it's only because I can't see them that well, but they look so pretty even small. My photographic skills pale to yours too.

It's always fun to see new ideas and ways to use items that you usually just throw away. Yours look so pretty. Thank you for sharing this idea.
