fruit cans??

[mooshie_stamps]

ok, so I'm new to this site, and I'm loving all the cool stuff I've seen. I just saw some fruit cans that were decorated, and filled with something else (candy I guess). so my question is: how exactly do these work? do you just open the can as normal, eat the fruit, wash the can, and cover it with decorated cardstock? then how do you close the can again?
any help on this would be great! I'm even concidering giving these out, or demoing these soon. thanks

OK, so first you need a safety can opener, it takes the whole rim off the can instead of the inside of the lid. You open the bottom of the can, do what you like with contents, clean and dry the can. Fill it with you'd like (I used little pewter christmas ornaments) glue the bottom back on with crystal effects or some other glue then decorate! The reciever gets to pop it open! HTH

If you want larger cans use the Campbell's Chunky soup cans. I just did this for a friend of my daughters she loved it!!

Just realized today as I was making a bottle for my little one - the cans that baby formula come in are perfect for this! You just have to open from the bottom and fish around for the scoop!
I will have plenty in time for Christmas!
