Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Tin

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.  Mine was very busy with something big happening every day.  I got to spend lots of time with family and friends and I really enjoyed myself.  Now that it's Monday I find myself wondering where the long weekend went and how come it's December already?!

I have a new project to share with you today.  It's a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup tin.

I used the Deer Friends hostess stamp set along with my 1 1/4" and 1" circle punches to make decorations for the top of each mini peanut butter cup.

I stamped each image twice--once on Very Vanilla cardstock and a second time on either Riding Hood Red or Old Olive cardstock.  I punched out the central image with the 1" circle punch and mounted it on the colored cardstock with a dimensional.

For the tag on top of the tin, I used the Punches Three hostess set.  I stamped the image in Riding Hood Red ink on Riding Hood Red and Very Vanilla cardstock.  I punched out the Riding Hood Red cardstock with my Scalloped Square punch.  I cut out the "A Very Merry Christmas" part from the Very Vanilla cardstock and adhered that on top of the Riding Hood Red scalloped square.  Last I punched a 1/8" hole in the top of the tag and threaded about 5" of Rope Twine through the hole and tied it in a knot.

I wrapped some 1 1/4" Riding Hood Red/Very Vanilla striped grosgrain ribbon around the tin and tied it once.  I took the "A Very Merry Christmas" tag and threaded the loop from the Rope Twine around the bottom end of my striped grosgrain ribbon (see photo below).

Once I had the Rope Twine in place, I tied the striped grosgrain ribbon again to finish forming my knot.  This knot held the Rope Twine and my tag securely in place (see photo below).

I trimmed the ends of my ribbon and it's done!  If you're looking for where to buy the tins, you can find them here.  Thanks for stopping by!  ~Dannie

Dannie-
Thanks for sharing this! I have been looking for something cute (and easy!!) for my co-workers--and this is is! I have a ton of these tins that I got in a bulk buy a long time ago--and this is the perfect use for them. Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful ideas!

Where do you get the tins? I love the ideas and would like to make gifts for the kids teachers.
