Why spend $1-$2 each for tins or plastic Christmas buckets to give your homemade holiday treats? These are very inexpensive to make and are not labor intensive. I spent about 1 hour while watching TV last night and made 12.
- Collect canisters- I saved formula canisters. Other ideas: Pringles cans, Crystal Light Canisters, coffee cans
, shoe boxes, cardboard boxes. - Wash if needed, I gave mine a good rinse and let air dry.
- Wrap with Christmas wrapping paper you got on the cheap last Christmas and the free tape you got from Walgreens.
- Add a bow or some ribbon for festiveness.
- Use a glue stick and a little patience to glue paper over the Enfamil logo on the lid.
- Make yourself feel fancy and cut out white card stock circles to put inside the lid to cover the edges of your wrapping job (also a great place to put your Holiday Greetings)
- Put a piece of wax paper inside and fill with goodies or wrap goodies up in plastic wrap and put tissue paper inside.
- Sing Fa La La La La as you pat yourself on the back for doing something both green and frugal. (Optional)
- Deliver goodies to all of your loved ones.
- Feel Merry Christmissy ( yes not a word and yes it was only added because 9 easy steps seemed just silly :) )
