UPCYCLING: Peanut Cans to Cookie Tins

(Before It's News)

I have a quick and easy project for you just in time for Valentine’s Day. If you’re planning on giving cookies or other treats away for Valentine’s Day, don’t forget the pretty packaging.

These individual sized cookie tins are upcycled nut cans. I buy a lot of raw nuts to make homemade trail mix and started saving up the cans.

I used gift wrap to cover the cans. Simply measure the gift wrap so that it wraps around the can and secure with double-sided tape.

Wrap up some cookies – homemade or bakery bought in clear cello wrap and use some pretty ribbon or strips of fabric to tie the top.

I used fabric from my stash including a strip of vintage linen.

Make some simple tags to write your message and you have a nice individual-sized cookie tin that’s as pretty to look at as it is sweet and yummy!
