Surprise!

This is a door prize that I often use in my workshops — it’s a small pop-tab can that normally holds Vienna Sausages or fruit cocktail.

You open the bottom of the can with a Safety can opener, and dispose of the contents. Wash and dry well. I then insert a small gift, like a rubber stamp or candies and some shredded paper filler. A good tip for this is to put the gift item in first, and then the paper filler. That way, when the recipient pops the top of the can, the surprise is on top and immediately viewable. Then, hot glue (or Super Glue, but be VERY careful when using Super Glue) bottom back on.

Cover the can with pretty patterned papers, and attach a gift tag.

This can is covered in Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Paper in “Dashing” with Real Red accents and a Many Thanks tag.

    I am totally going to try this! Gotta run and get a safety can opener. What a great idea.
