Well it is that time of year when we need to come up with some quick and inexpensive gifts. Here’s a hybrid scrapbook project idea for you!

One of my favorite things is to find something already in a fun package and make it cuter with a little personalization.  I found these yummy rolled cookies that I love so much that are in a fun tin container.

I used Meredith’s cute Christmas kit “Christmas Wishes” to make a template of sorts to cover it. I used papers and elements to make a fun design. I printed it on regular copy paper because I knew it would be discarded and I didn’t want to waste my photo paper(it would have looked a lot brighter and crisper with photo paper- so if you make something they would keep I would go that route.)

Because the paper was a little shorter than the tin I printed out an extra blank page to fill in the extra inch or so and to use for the top of the tin. I cut the circle for the top with my Cricut but you could just use a pencil and draw around the lid on the back of the paper and then cut it out by hand. You could also ink or chalk around the edges to add a little pop.

I used clear tape to wrap the tin and a glue runner to adhere the top piece. I then found some cute red/white ribbon to tie around the top and finished it off with a cute glittery mini ornament.

Now I just have about 8 more to make so I will have gifts ready in a moment’s notice.

Happy Hybrid Day!
