Cool recycled gift canister, wrapping, and fabulous bow

Step 6Admire your creation and ...

Admire your creation and ...
Cool, you're done!
Stick a gift in there. Slap the lid on. Admire.

This is a great way to wrap a group of little things, stuff like t-shirts, or oatmeal cookies!

Best thing is the fab paper is not destroyed in the unwrapping of the gift. You can use this pre-wrapped package over and over.

Where to go from here?
Decoupage groovy pictures on the canister instead of using wrapping paper.
Paint the inside of the canister, or line with batting and satiny fabric.
Use different lengths and widths of paper scraps to make the bow. Heck, you could even use ribbon.
Apply the technique to recycle your skinny chip cans, nut canisters, coffee tins, etc.
