Transform any can with a little rustic thread

You can transform any disposable can or container using rustic thread (rope, thread, ixtle or even wool or yarn in brown colors). This craft is really simple, quick and easy to make, plus you will not spend a lot of money and you will be able to recycle containers that you already have at home (cans, plastic containers, cardboard boxes, etc.)
The procedure is simple, it is only about winding the yarn in the container, starting from the base, and following layer by layer upwards, until covering the entire surface. You can use hot silicone or liquid silicone to perform this step. Once the tin or container is covered with rustic thread, it is enough to decorate it. You can use various materials for this, such as leftover foamy, lace, ribbons, beads, buttons or any other adornment you have.

Fabulous wraps for your Christmas gifts

Take note of these beautiful ideas to put an original and different touch to your Christmas gifts. Set aside the classic wrapping paper with Christmas designs and create original gifts by personalizing them according to your taste. Add decorative items such as cloth strips, pompoms, beads, handmade labels, and ornaments made with leftovers paper. 

Some useful tips:

*   Instead of bows or ribbons, you can use: spheres, cinnamon sticks, paper flowers, pine twigs, candies, candy canes, paper snowflakes, Christmas decorations, etc.

* Use clothespins to hold Christmas labels on ribbon 

* Smooth bags of Kraft paper are perfect for placing small gifts and are easy to customize using leftover foamy or colored paper. 

* You can experiment and use other types of paper that are not usually used to wrap gifts, such as tissue paper, crepe paper, or card stock.

* Turn your gifts into Christmas reindeer by adding ears and paper horns. You can use plastic eyes or simply draw them on paper with a black marker.

* Stack several large boxes from largest to smallest to form the typical Christmas characters (Santa Claus, snowman, elf, etc.)
