One of the current challenges at Gingersnaps is to use packaging. This was a tub of biscuits that has been in my growing collection of things much to good to chuck and that will be re-purposed in due course. Always in need of things to keep things in it was good fun to decorate this.
The yellow design on the tube was to nice to cover up so just the label painted over. There is a full step by step guide on Craft-Room site so forgive me if I do not go into detail here.
