FYI, I found out that the inspiration for these candy tins came from another blog, My Paper Creations by Niki Estes, and wanted to make sure I gave her credit. Thank you for such a fantastic idea, Niki!!!
Soooo Cute, don't you think?
Finding a creative pal in Colorado has been a huge blessing.
After a long-distance move,
you wonder, you hope...
you desperately want to connect with someone who has similar interests.
Soon after meeting at church, Lilah and I discovered that we enjoy making things
and have gotten together several times to Create.
Unfortunately, I missed the latest gathering (drat!)
because I was teaching a Photography Workshop but wanted to showcase
thisclever, adorable, wonderfully creative, PERFECT gift
for a teacher or as a stocking stuffer.

Supplies:
Rectangle Clear Top Tins (.875" H x 5.5" W x 3.7")***
Hershey's Nugget Chocolates (one bag fills three tins)
Decorative Paper
Ribbon, Stamps, Border Punches, Cut Outs, etc.
Adhesive
2. Cut a 4x12 inch strip of paper to wrap around the tin itself...use a border punch on the edges.
3. Cut 12 - 1x3 inch strips to wrap around the nuggets
4. Adhere all your papers with adhesive. The nuggets first, then wrap the tin itself.
5. Embellish as you wish with ribbon, a Christmas stamp, or various cut outs.
6. Give to your children's teachers, neighbors...or keep them for your self because they are too cute to give away!
***Lilah purchased her tins online at Papertrey Ink for $2.00/tin, and I also found other sources that offered them for a great price including Specialty Bottle for about $1.00/tin. I haven't ordered from them yet, so I don't know anything about their level of customer service. When shopping around, look for a tin that is (.875" H x 5.5" W x 3.7").
