Valentine’s Day 2010, I wrapped a mini chip container with scrapbook paper and ribbon to dress it up and store homemade cookies, which stacked nicely instead. With pinking shears, a sewing machine and a heart-shaped button, I was able to quickly transform a piece of red felt into an envelope, which was filled with more goodies!
If you’ve recently purchased canned food in a pull-tab container, you can open it from the bottom, empty the contents, clean it, refill with goodies, glue the bottom back on and you’ve transformed it into a pull-tab treat can that is so fun to open! I recommend only filling it with packaged candy or little trinkets because you are gluing the bottom back on.
Last week, I posted a decorated brie container which Amy in OHio thinks would be great for giving cookies to her daughter’s teachers.

Are you sure that advent post was 2008? I swore that was this year. I guess I really have been reading your blog forever!

Most that know me, know I’m not really good at keeping secrets and have revealed the contents of the envelope…nothing scandalous 🙂
