Now back to the Bisto,  Asda gravy granules - standing in my kitchen on Sunday with an empty gravy granule tub in my hand  I suddenly had a light bulb moment. A couple of weeks ago, Maritha, one of my Teddy Bo teamies, had made a gorgeous money box using a Pringles tube check it out here, I loved the idea, but didn't have the Pringle tube, so looking at my gravy granule tub I thought to myself, I'm sure this will do the job just as well, and here is how it ended up.

Punch - Iotonic - Daisies
Ribbon, gems, pearls, charms - MeiFlower

I turned the tub upside down so the lid would open from the bottom, cut a slot into the top (bottom) and then wrapped paper around it. The A4 paper didn't quite meet in the middle, but I was planning to cover the join with a punched border anyway so it wasn't a problem. I used double sided tape to stick ribbon around the edges and over the top, and added gems, pearls and charms for decoration. I love the way it turned out and have already started planning my next one, although we have a lot of gravy granules to get through first LOL! A big thank you to Maritha for the inspiration.
