This Is My Altered Container

This is a really cute pretend paint tin that I picked up from Home Bargains a few months ago for 79p. The tin contained a baby bib - I only bought it for the tin ;-)

This is my altered container. I have covered it with Basic Grey paper from the Lemonade range and added a couple of ribbons. I have also covered the inside with BG paper.

I am going to use the container to 'house' my friend's birthday pressies...
I am going to wrap it in cellophane. I know it's an odd sort of selection of stuff but I know she'll love it all ;-)

  6. I love this idea Sarah... these would be good items for the craft fair... maybe filled with sweets for kids or homemade fudge for adults in little bags with gingham ribbon! x
