So, as promised - here is the first project with Heinz UK to inspire people to reuse their Heinz cans to make beautiful ‘can crafts’ for all the family. I am so excited to reveal the first can creation…
‘Sweets & Biscuits’ Gift Holder!
MATERIALS
1 X EMPTY HEINZ CAN
THICK TAPE
SELECTION OF COLOURED WASHI TAPE
SWEETS / BISCUITS TO FILL
CELLOPHANE
1 X RIBBON
1 X GIFT TAG
TOOLS
SCISSORS
PEN
STEP 1:
IT ALL STARTS WITH A HEINZ CAN...
STEP 2:
BEFORE YOU START CRAFTING, EAT WHAT’S IN THE CAN, CLEAN IT WITH A BRUSH, REMOVE THE CAN LABEL AND (JUST TO BE SAFE) TAPE THE OPEN EDGE WITH A THICK TAPE.
STEP 3:
WRAP THE WASHI TAPE AROUND THE CAN IN WHATEVER DESIGN YOU LIKE, CUT A LENGTH THAT ENSURES EACH PIECE GOES AROUND THE CAN AT LEAST ONCE.
THIS EXAMPLE SHOWS A RAINBOW EFFECT, BUT YOU CAN CREATE ANY DESIGN YOU LIKE!
STEP 4:
ONCE YOU’RE HAPPY WITH YOUR WASHI TAPE DESIGN, FILL YOUR CAN WITH SWEETS! OR WHY NOT SOME HOME MADE BISCUITS?
ALTHOUGH YOUR CAN SHOULD BE NICE AND CLEAN FROM WASHING, FOR EXTRA FOOD SAFETY MAKE SURE YOU USE INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED SWEETS OR BISCUITS, LIKE THESE...
STEP 5:
THEN WRAP YOUR CAN IN CELLOPHANE AND SECURE IN PLACE WITH A RIBBON.
MAKE SURE YOU TRIM BACK ANY EDGES OF CELLOPHANE THAT AREN’T NEEDED WITH YOUR SCISSORS.
THEN WRITE A LITTLE PERSONALISED GIFT TAG TO MAKE IT EXTRA SPECIAL AND ADD THIS ON TOO WITH RIBBON…
AND VOILA!
ONE GORGEOUS AND VERY PERSONAL GIFT HOLDER, HANDMADE WITH HEINZ.
