Default Re: Coffee Can crafts

There are some great ideas here. In the past I have turned many coffee cans into bunny baskets base coating white then sponging over all except where face willl be painted on. I made ears out of muslum and slid them over wire and painted pink in the middle area. I also used a nice easter print material and ripped a strip to use as a headband. They were adorable and I made all my nieces and nephews one a few years ago and filled it with homemade treats. I do the same for Halloween making pumpkins, scarecrows and witches and for Christmas santas with muslim beard and mustache, snowman, soldiers with fur around the top rim as his hat, angels , I used them as gift bags and also filled with cripex mix, chocolate covered pretzels, homemade cookies, even small jars of jams and jellies. The last snowman I made I glued dark grey felt aroudn the top and made a hem that I ran a cord so I could close the hat at the top. I even glued a wooden made pipe to his face. IT was adorable. Just use your imagination. They are fun adn reusable over and over
