I made this for my friend's wedding day. Her color is deep marine blue so I made the can to match a dress swatch. The can is filled with 28 items including a scroll explaining the contents and of course, CHOCOLATE. This will be her bridal shower gift. There are pearl and crystal beads hanging from each handle and pearls in the center of the flowers around the can as well as on the lid. I added wedding day Rub-ons on the DP. The flower on the lid is cut from the DP and popped up on dimensionals.

Oh my, what a totally fabulous gift!!! I love your idea and that large corner flourish on the envelope is just stunning -- that stamp is one of my very favorites -- just love it!!! Great project -- so glad you shared!!!
What a stunning gift idea! Love to know what the other items in the can were. Also, can you share how you get the paint can ready to use? I am guessing this is a used can? I have just finished a painting project and am saving the can, but not sure how to get it clean, any tips?

Thanks...new cans may be purchased at Lowe's. I'm sure other HI stores would also have them if there isn't one in your area. In the can, I placed travel sizes of the following:
toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, stain wipes, hand wipes, facial cleansing cloths, Tums, nailfile, nail polish remover, safety pins, lens cleaners, contact lens solution, tissues first aid kit, shine erase for fac, hair spray, hand lotion, tampons, Q-tips, sewing kit, clear nail polish, anti-perspirant, white chalk...and chocolate! Have fun!!
