Angel Gift Cans from Melony Bradley are just as great as homemade gift boxes! This is a unique craft that looks fantastic and fun.
Materials:
- Tin Cans
- Scrapbook paper
- Silver Metal
- Scrapbooking tape
- Wood wings
- Stamps
- Chipboard shapes
- Staz On ink
- Cardstock
- Collage Pauge
- Brads
- Ribbon
- Hole punch
- Aleene's Tacky Glue
Instructions:
- I removed the labels and washed out a tin can and covered it with scrapbooking paper. I used silver metal from Walnut Hollow's Creative Metal Line. I cut it into 1" strips and folded it accordion style. I placed decorative scrapbooking tape over the metal before adhering it to the center of the can with strong adhesive.
- The angel placed on the front of the can was created with wood wings, a stamped circle and chipboard shapes. I used a photo-realistic stamp and Staz On ink in black to stamp a piece of smooth cardstock. I cut the face out and used Collage Pauge to adhere it to the painted circle. Rub ons provided the holiday sentiment in the center of the angel.
- I added a jeweled brad and glittered ribbon to the bottom of the front for extra sparkle.
- As an extra fun detail, I punched small holes with a heavy hole punch and placed brads at the back of the can on the seams. I added a sparkly beaded handle and glued the angel to the can with Aleene's Original Tacky Glue.
