Making Candy Container

Do you have can at home? Can has many benefit for us. We can use clean tuna and cat food cans to make holiday candy containers.

First, paint the outside of the cans white. Then, punch two holes near the top edge on opposite sides and used light weight craft wire to make a little handle. Now it sort of looks like a little basket. After that, stamp around the outside with simple shapes made from kitchen sponge and craft paint, as hearts, Christmas trees, shamrocks, etc. Next, fill rectangles of coloured cellophane with a few pieces of hard candy and tie the top with a piece of narrow ribbon and put that inside the can.
