Soon it will be Easter again - for many a nice and relaxing time of the year! We at buah also love the festive atmosphere and have decided not to let the hectic hustle and bustle in the city disturb us this year. That is why this time we have thought of something very special for the gifts to our loved ones: Self-made Easter gifts from our stylish buah tins! These are not only practical and look good, but also have the advantage that our cans are not thrown away, but are sensibly recycled. We would like to introduce you to our top 3 favorite gift ideas, some of which are not only suitable as gifts for women and men, but also for children.
1. GIFT IDEA: MAKE A FLOWER POT
Who wouldn't be happy about some beautiful flowers in a
fancy flower pot? You will be a very special eye-catcher with a self-decorated
flower pot! All you really need is a waterproof and weatherproof clear coat and
a brush. We personally like it with a little decoration:
That's why we have a thicker cord, a small wooden heart and a hot glue gun. Last but not least, a beautiful potted flower and some extra soil should not be missing.
First we coat our buah can with the clear varnish so that the flower pot is nice and shiny afterwards and becomes a little more robust. After the clear coat has dried, we go around the top of the can with the glue gun. There we wrap our thick cord around a few times and leave an approx. 5cm long end to which we tie our wooden heart. At the end we fill the can with soil and plant the pot flower. And so we not only wonderfully upcycled our cans, but also a nice gift which is perfect for the start of spring!
2. GIFT IDEA: STORAGE CONTAINER
For our beautiful and practical storage boxes - we love them in the bathroom with a lid, for storing cotton pads or other hygiene items - you only need a few materials.
We decided to design our buah in colors that immediately make you think of spring. For this, we have chosen acrylic paint in healthy green. After we had coated the can and it was dry, we thought of something special: With Window Colors, we would like to decorate our cans with beautiful Easter motifs. A bright pink, which we use to paint our can with small flowers, goes particularly well with our green cans. With the resealable lid, our storage jar is perfect for all kinds of things. Our pot is also great for storing pasta or muesli in the kitchen.
3. NEWSPAPER HOLDER
We also find our DIY newspaper holder a great and somewhat unusual idea, which probably none of your friends or family members has at home yet. The ideal gift for your dad's or grandparents' Sunday newspaper! For our buah newspaper rack, this time, we leave the cans entirely in their original design. The only thing you need is a gum gun and good scissors.
We use 7 of our large cans for the gift. First, we remove the lids from the cans and then remove the cans' bottoms so that only "pipes" remain. We take three cans for our newspaper holder's base and glue them to each other in a parallel offset. We stack three more cans on top of this, which are staggered and stuck onto the three lower cans. Finally, we put the seventh can on top so that the whole thing gets a more individual shape. Voilà, you already have a modern and beautiful newspaper rack!
We love homemade gifts and are happy when our buah cans are
not thrown away but used again. Our ideas are also easy to implement and don't
need many extras. We also had a lot of fun doing handicrafts! We confident that
we might give you some inspiration for what you can do with our empty buah cans,
and we wish you a lot of fun with your handicrafts too!
