"Hi, I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village and today I am showing you how to make gift wrapping using recycled items from around the house. This next one is using a standard, and old favorite, the old empty coffee can. It's a very simple project. This requires a coffee can, empty and washed out, a couple of ribbons that you have kept from any other gifts that you have been given, or even if you have extra ribbon laying around from your sewing or craft room, thats fine as well. A pair of scissors and a glue gun and a glue stick and in a couple of minutes you are going to have a very lovely little container that you can use to package your gift this time around and then it will also serve as a very nice item that can be displayed for example as a pen case in the holidays or to put candy canes in. Whoever end up receiving the can, I think will find lots of great uses for it. "
