I removed the label from each can and rinsed it out. My daughter and I used a hot glue gun to attach scrapbook papers and embellishments to the cleaned cans.
Many parents collect their Box Tops at home in zipper bags. The #10 cans are large enough to hold quite a few full zipper bags.
Parents will be able to take a pantry can home, then send it back with their child once the can is full. To encourage parents to trim the Box Tops, I will cut a slit in the top for them to fit through.
If you would like to make box top banks for your child's school, feel free to contact me and I will email you a .pdf document for the lid inserts!
What a fabulous idea! I've thrown out way to many cans lately. Good for you for finding a way to put them to use!
ReplyDeleteI just think they are also perfect for gifts - especially when you are not in the mood to go to the store to buy a not-that-ugly gift bag for under $5.
ReplyDeleteI will for sure use them for the upcoming holidays and especially for those holiday gift exchange games like white elephant :)
What an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing. I will def do this for us at home and see if my sons teacher would like any.
