Instructions

I found this on line, used it with my kids and thought I would share it. There are festive designs already made – or you can print a blank template (my favorite )and have the kids design their own unique design.

I like it because it saves me some money and I like to recycle.

  1. I have a large one on the kitchen counter for the organic food scraps, I put them in the worm box to make rich compost for my garden. Easy to clean & empty.

  2. I’m thinking that if you have old christmas cards from people you have saved, you can use the front of the card as your pictures to put on the coffee cans. I have some beautiful cards I’m going to try to use. 🙂 Great craft idea, thanks for sharing

  3. So glad I found your site. 20+ years ago I made a special box for my Mother, but we called it The Love Box. She passed away in 1996. Over the years the poem became dry & brittle & started falling apart, but I still have the box. Your poem is the same as the one on the box I had made except mine was filled with love instead of hugs. Now I can replace the poem and make some more boxes for my daughters. Thank you.

  4. You could put in dry ingredients for a cake, cookie, cupcake, brownie etc. recipe. Add the recipe on a tag tied with a ribbon/bow ..

  12. I have been trying to find crafts to make out of the coffee canisters, I drink alot of coffee and have quite a few canisters lying around so I can’t wait to put them to good use. I will start out with the smaller ons.
