My very first how-to!!! I hope you enjoy it!!

Instructions

  1. Small 19618

    First gather together all of the supplies needed inluding; various pine branches and cones, an empty candle tin, a sheet of plastic transparency plotter film, a small gift to go inside, scissors, clear tape, and a pen or marker (not showen in this picture).

  2. Small 19619

    Take the lid off of the tin, turn it upside down and trace around the opening onto the sheet of plastic with a pen or marker (I used a sharpie). Cut out the circle and put it aside.

  3. Small 19620

    Next take the pine needles off of your pine branches and fill your tin with them untill it is about a third of the way full or untill you can't see the bottom.

  4. Small 19621

    Place a few small pine cones and/or pine branches on top of the pine needles. Your tin should now be between 1/2 to 2/3 full.

  5. Small 19622

    Grab your cut out plastic circle and place on top of the pine needles and cones. You might have to trim it a bit to make it fit.

  6. Small 19623

    Use clear tape to secure your gift on top of the plastic.

  7. Small 19624

    If you want you can add additional pine branches or cones for decoration (you might need to tape or glue these down).

  8. Small 19625

    Check to see if the lid fits on top of all those layers and voila you're done!!! You now have a beautifully wrapped gift to give to a friend or loved one!
