Coffee Can Make-Over

Just wanted to share a make-over for my coffee can.  This is a handy dandy little helper to have around!  You can dress it up or down.  If this was done for kids to use, I would probably stamp images and not add too many 3-d items. 

This is a small tin so I had to use the single roll tissue.  Remove the cardboard center, place the roll in the coffee tin and start pulling the tissue from the center of the roll.  Cut a star or X in the lid and pull the tissue out--I had to play a bit to get the right tension, so the tissue comes out smoothly--not too snug or loose.



I used Bo Bunny paper, Stampin Up cardsock, Fiskars punch, focked rub-ons from Prima, flowers and ribbon.


Thanks for stopping by  :)

    This is wonderful and I love the idea of something sturdy like this (maybe not so embellished though) for in my car, as the Kleenex box gets pretty beat up looking in a matter of days.
