The Pop Top Can

My friend, Adrienne, over at Some of A Kind, posted the blogs she enjoys reading. And because I was finding it hard to sleep, I went through her list for fun late last night. I came across the website CraftsOnAWhim.com and found lots of fun crafts to try.

I came across the Pop Top Can (click here to see tutorial). Basically, you open the bottom of a can, clean out food held inside, add candy (or whatever you choose to put in it), glue the bottom back on and decorate the can. Make sure you use a pop top can so it is easy and fun to open.

It was an easy and fast craft to make because I had almost all of the supplies needed to create it. I got started this afternoon because I had a fun BBQ to attend tonight and thought it would be a fun gift to bring to the hostess!

Here is the final result of my Pop Top Can:

I filled the can with peanut butter filled Dove candies. I encourage anyone to try this tutorial. I had a lot of fun making it and have even thought of more occasions that would call for such a treat!

The tutorial used a much smaller can. It used a snack size can filled with fruit. Wouldn't something like that make a great wedding/baby shower favor or birthday party favor? The possibilities are endless.

Have I ever mentioned I love crafts!?!
