Hello There,
Do you save plastic containers that make their way into your house to re purpose? I do and they are starting to stack up, pile up and fall off the shelves I have them stored on. So, here is a quick project using some. This container is one that I got generic Crystal Light in from Walmart. It will be the perfect size to put homemade candies in to give out to my husband’s guy co-workers this coming holiday season. I didn’t put any bling on these since they are created to give to men. But you can go crazy with bling for yours!
Once you have the measurements down for the first container they go together pretty quickly. Also, I will have them done and ready to fill come the holiday rush. Woohoo!
Check out the tutorial below.

Yep, I have a bunch of these containers. 🙂 
Started by cutting a 8.5″ x 6″ piece of Designer Series Paper and a 1″ x 8″ strip of coordinating paper.
Put Sticky Strip down the middle of the front of the container and a strip down each side of the DSP. Attached the paper to the container, wrapping it around snugly. Since the container is a bit wider at the top than it is at the bottom the paper will not be even at the and bottom.
Put a strip of coordinating paper around the top of the container. Added a triangle of DSP over where the ends don’t meet up to give it a finished look. This is the backside of the container.
Stamped the sentiment for the front of the container on scrap Whisper White card stock using Cherry Cobbler ink. Punched it out using the 1 1/4″ square punch. Also punched a 1 3/8″ square punch from Baja Breeze card stock to go behind the sentiment.
Stamped the sentiment for the top of the container using Cherry Cobbler ink on a scrap piece of card stock. Punched it out with the Word Window punch. Also punched the Decorative Label punch from Cherry Cobbler card stock and cut a 1.75″ x 2.5″ piece of Baja Breeze card stock. Rounded the corners of the Baja Breeze piece using the corner rounder punch.
Adhered the 3 pieces for the top of the container together and then adhered them onto the top using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Popped the sentiment up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Here is the finished project all ready to be filled with goodies. I’m thinking homemade carmels, yum!
