Recycled Tin Can

Our next class was a project to recycle household waste to make an attractive gift parcel.

We used empty soup tin cans which had been opened using an opener that left the edges smooth and enabled us to re-use the lid to close the tin,  We used a selection of papers to cover the  inside and outside of the tin the added some embellishments.  It's at this point when I ask the members to finish off the project how they want to and they are given the freedom to use what ever embellishments they prefer to make each persons finished item individual to their own taste. To add to this lovely tin can we made matching gift bags and card. This would've made a lovely mothers day present as it was around then we made the matching set. Everyone in the class used different embellishments to enhance and compliment the pattern that was on their chosen paper.

We will be repeating this project later but decorate suitable for Christmas gift.
