I’ll admit I’m sorta a can hoarder. I collect hoard {clean} cans and stuff them into empty bags and boxes in the garage. Maybe I shouldn’t of admitted that, sounds weird…like a crazy cat can lady weird.
To make this masculine decor, I re-covered an empty Pringles {cheddar} and soup can{Italian Wedding} with DCWV Industrial Chic paper using continuous Glue Lines®. Very simple: measure, cut, adhere…done.
After I wrapped the cans in paper, they needed a lil’ something else and I couldn’t wrap a big bow around them like I would of liked so, I wrapped 20 gauge copper wire around the cans and threaded a “manly” looking BGM Cookie Jar button through.
When designing manly crafts, the thought of incorporating buttons may not be the first embellishment to pop into your head but these Button Galore buttons turned out to be the perfect embellishment for the lid of this treat canister.
I adhered various BGM Cookie Jar and Argyle buttons using permanent Glue Dots® on to a piece of Kraft paper inked with Colorbox ink.
I like this idea for serving up a sweet treat for dad!!
Wonderful ideas for storing things. My guy loves those red twizzlers, too!
How did you know my husband LOVES Twizzlers? Or do all husbands? Great project idea!
Great reuse of those cans. Love it!

This is really a cool gift for a male. I have some of these containers and I was tring to figure out what to do with them now I know. Thanks for sharing.
Cool idea! I do this for my crafting stuff but never thought to do the hubbys.
Great idea and love the colours! Very masculine!
very cute idea!
Great idea, I think I will make something similar for my Father-in-law’s desk! Thanks for sharing!
It’s always good to see a project that was made from recycled materials.
Keep on hoarding.
Still love this project – coming from the button side of the hop now.
Thanks for sharing.
Great idea for my SIL as he LOVES Twizzlers and I love making things for my family!
Terrific projects Holly, I love the curled wire you add to so many of your projects!!
VERY COOL!!! I’ve been saving all kinds of food packaging and this has totally inspired me to start altering them. I really like the papers you used and substituting wire for ribbon was genius! Thanks a bunch for playing along with our Whimsical Wednesday challenge at Whimsical Designs.
very cool Holly! I just love this idea! The kids will love.. Ok I will love eating the chips to make this happen! LOL
Wow… what a great home decor project.. Apparently I need to start stocking up on different types of containers 🙂
Thanks for playing along with us girls over at Whimsical Designs

Your creation is so amazing!! I really love it!
What are “glue line” that you mentioned? I looked on the Glue Dots site but couldn’t find anything listed for it. I Love using glue dots but have been out of the crafting loop for a little while and never heard of Glue Lines until today.
Thanks so much for sharing your creative gift!
I just looked up “glue lines” on Google. They sound incredibly handy to use on some projects. I will have to look for some and try them on a future project. Thanks so much for your inspiration!
Now I’m going to have to start saving cans! These look amazing!
Hahahaha…. I’m quite the enabler. Thanks-Holly 🙂
