If you don't want to decorate outside the glass or plastic can, add a decoration to the lid.
Cover the top of the lid with cloth or a small lace fabric or paper towel. Holiday or gingham cut with pink tulle. Add three to four inches to the diameter of the lid to cover and decorate. A circular floe can be used under the fabric to fill the appearance. The counting cross stitch design can also be used on the top of the can.

Gift can contents
When deciding what to do, use your imagination and consider the purpose of the gift. The food mixture is very popular. Gift cans can also contain sewing concepts, keep sake, games, snack mixes, nuts n' bolts or chex mixes, candied nuts, candied popcorn, Christmas candy or jelly beans, coffee, tea, seasoned vinegar and glass bottles, flowers Aroma or spice gel, bath salt and oil in a baked cake jar.
If you plan to provide a food mixture, first choose recipes and ingredients. The food mixture generally looks better when the ingredients of the mixture are layered in the tank. The recipient can mix the ingredients before use.
If you plan to mix, you will need to:
- When you layer the ingredients or put them in a can, use a small bottle to mash the ingredients.
- A canned funnel or a card stock can be used to make a simple funnel for canning.
- The paper towel wipes off the powdery ingredients in the can.
- The ingredients are layered in the jar in the order given in the recipe.
- Before adding the next ingredient to get a better appearance, after adding powdery ingredients such as sugar, cocoa or flour, wipe the sides of the jar with a clean paper towel.
- After the addition, all the ingredients are firmly packed. If you don't do this, you won't have enough space to hold all the ingredients. Normally, quarts can hold up to 6 cups of packaged ingredients; one pint cans of 3 cups.
- If the ingredients do not reach the top of the can, fill the space with crumpled cling film or wax paper to prevent the ingredients from moving and mixing.
- After filling the ingredients into the can, cover the lid. Attach a card with recipes, instructions, any other ingredients list and holiday greetings.
When baking a cake, use a pint of wide-mouth can and two parts of the lid [flat seal and spiral belt]. The wide mouth allows the cake to slip out of the jar. Choose a canned cake recipe or adjust your favorite cake recipe to make a jar. Place a cup of the prepared cake mixture in the pint jar. Bake as indicated. Jars and lids must be sterilized prior to use. After removing the cake from the oven [using a new lid], bake the cake and cover it. Carefully place the flat seal on top of the jar and screw on the spiral strap. The jar is very hot, so don't burn yourself. Allow the can to cool and then test to make sure the can is sealed. If the cake is not properly sealed, eat the cake, chill or freeze until ready to eat. Sealed cake cans can be stored for up to two months without refrigeration. Attach a label with the name of the cake that says "the best food [two months after the cake is baked]."
Give yourself enough time to decorate the gift cans and plan content for everyone on the Christmas list. Fill the jar and sit back and relax. Have a hot cup of cider and enjoy your holiday.
