Altered Coffee Can

"Green Christmas"


Well, my challenge was on MPTS Forum was "Green Christmas". We had to recycle or upcycle an item around the house. We love coffee and I keep these cans to store items in. So, I thought it would neat to see what I can do with one.


I cut the bottom off by putting it through my can opener..lol



It makes it easy to place over a candle but as my mom reminded me I could use one of those battery candles..LOL. Now she tells me!! :)
