I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village and today I'm showing you how to make gift wrapping using recycled items from around the house. So I'm going to use this white ribbon and I have just enough that says happy holidays and I'm gonna use that and I actually want to get a clean happy holidays around the front. So I'm gonna start the edge of the seam with the rest of it and actually you can take your lid off at this point and go all the way to the top with it. Put it there. And do your dots around pull it nice and tight so it doesn't slide on you cause otherwise it might slide down. And than just go all the way around the line at the end there. Pull it nice and tight and go ahead and cut it. And than I'm gonna fold it under actually I need to cut this one a little more. I'm gonna fold it under. And one more dab of glue, hold it down and there you go a very cute little can you can put anything in here. You can put in candy or some fresh baked goods if you want, jewelry, little socks anything. Anything that fits in here can go in there and its a very lovely gift. You put the lid on and there is a very cute little container that you can reuse. Not only have you reuse the coffee can but once the gift is removed whoever the gift receiver is can now use this as a pen case throughout the holidays, or can put out some candy canes whatever use they want to make of it. Its a really nice little packaging.
