that the receiver can use all year long!

This project is rated AVERAGE to do.

What You Need:

• Empty tuna or cat food can
• Piece of fabric 6 inches by 6 inches
• Fiberfill or cotton balls to fill the can
• Decorations for the side of the can -
  ribbons, lace, fabric, construction paper,
  buttons, etc.
  
• Craft glue
• Scissors
• Lemon juice

How To Make It:

Clean the tuna fish can well - some lemon juice
will help kill the smell. Fill the can with
fiberfill (or cotton balls) so that it makes a
small mound in the center.

Cut a circle about 1" larger than the can out of
the fabric. Put the circle on top of the
fiberfill, tucking the edges into the can all
around. Be careful of sharp edges when you do
this. Carefully glue the fabric to the inside
top edge of the can.

Decorate the outside of the can with paper,
fabric, ribbons, lace, etc. Let it dry,
then wrap!
