This is one of my favourite gift wrapping ideas. I am not sure where the original idea came from, but I found it on the internet a long time ago. This idea involves the constant collection of pull-tab cans. Whenever we purchase canned food that comes with a pull tab (such as Eagle Brand Milk or individual Ravioli tins), we don’t use the tab to open it. Simply turn the can upside down and use a can opener to open the can and save the tab for a special gift! (Don’t forget to save both the base and the tin….simply wash and store for the perfect occasion.)

Turn can upside down and open with a can opener.

Here’s a shot of the tab top and the cut off bottom.

Fill the tin with the gift (from the open bottom). Hot glue the bottom back on the base.

Hot glue the felt on the base of the tin to cover the glue used to put the tin bottom back on.

Choose some items to embellish your gift. I have red paper covered wire, red ribbon, red raffia, bells, buttons and some white curly ribbon.
