How many of us bought these delicious tubs of crisps over the Christmas holidays  to sit and enjoy while watching the TV

And how many of you just tossed the empty carton into the trash can when you had eaten all the goodies inside ???

If you knew they could look this good I bet you would have kept them all.

Decorating them is so easy and with just a few pieces of paper and some embellishments you could have transformed them into something really lovely to store all your little trinkets in

The lilac one has the addition of a base to it and it looks even better and this can be a punched or die cut or just a shop bought shape will do ... or add a paper doily to the bottom as a frilly effect

This is a lovely ways to store things in your craft room or on your dressing table, or maybe even in the bathroom.

The ideas are endless and cheap enough to make them for friends and family too

Clean the inside of the tub with a baby wipe to eliminate any lingering odours... and bits of crisps !!

Then if you add a tumble drier sheet to the inside it will smell lovely when you are finished.

Remove the sheet before you add anything to it.

The beautiful flowers on both of these tubs are from
Wild Orchid Crafts

The luxury finish to each of them is the addition of the flourishes.

Diamanté on the pink one and pearls on the lilac one and they are from Want2Scrap

And for another idea that is pretty and feminine I have used the tubs in another way and decorated them with even more flowers from 
Wild Orchid Crafts
