Upcycled Treat Tins Made Beautiful for the Holidays


Give out your handmade treats in festive upcycled treat tins this year. It's easy to make these containers beautiful for the season of giving.

There’s no need to buy plastic containers to store your home baked gifts in when you can repurpose items you’d normally trash. Can you believe these upcycled treat tins are actually old potato chip and nut canisters???

That’s right! Instead of purchasing something to give my candies and cookies away in this year I decided to make my own. You won’t recognize their original purpose after adding festive scrapbook paper, ribbon and embellishments. It’s a great way to give a new purpose to something old, which is one of my favorite things to do.

Materials needed to make Upcycled Treat Tins:

  • Empty potato chip or nut canisters 
  • glitter scrapbook paper in various colors
  • glue gun and glue sticks
  • coordinating holiday themed ribbon
  • 3D sticker embellishments
  • scissors and/or paper trimmer

Project instructions:

Start by cleaning out the inside of the canisters by wiping with a damp paper towel. Cut two pieces of scrapbook paper so they will wrap around the container with a slight overlap.

Well, the official last step is to add your holiday treats to your new upcycled treat tins. Your family, friends and neighbors are going to love their hand delivered goodies. Maybe they’ll enjoy your baking just as much as they will appreciate the effort you put into making these upcycled treat tins look beautiful for the holidays. I hope you’ll give this upcycled project a try for Christmas this year.
