Here's an idea!

I saw this in a book yesterday "Gift Ideas" AWESOME book, I should have bought it.

They had a sample of a paint can done collage style but they offered ideas you could use the can for (decorated differently of course), one was an entertainment can. Put a pack of popcorn, candy and a blockbuster gift card for movies; something along those lines.

They also recommended using SB page instead of CS b/c it's difficult to get it to stick arond the can.

Other ideas in the book: A baby shower can (for someone expecting of course), a birthday can. I think any of the survival kits we do in the cello bags would work great with the cans, you just need to expand whaT goes in them. I'm thinking a PMS can! Nothing like a can full of chocolate to lift your moods.

oops! This post should have gone to the thread for the SCS interested in Paint Can themes

Hmmmm... I'm thinkin' this might be a good plan for my daughter and her husband when they move to the new house. But what would I put in it? I need suggestions!

New house, they will need hammer, nails, leveling tool for hanging pictures, tools for hanging wallpaper, maybe even postcards announcing their new address!

Brilliant! I like the nails and the leveling tool... and the postcards I can stamp, of course. (They won't be hanging wallpaper... it's a rental apartment.) A map of Atlanta might be useful! lol

I just made a paint can filled with everything needed to play Bunco. I decorated the outside of the can with dice using the square outline from simple shapes and a pencil eraser for the dots. I made some tile coasters to look like dice using the solid circle from simple shape. I included some beaded pens and decorated note pads. It really turned out neat and will make a great gift.
