Christmas Candy Drum Neighbor Gift + Free Printable

I am excited to be participating in the My Sister’s Suitcase 12 Days of Christmas! There have been some really incredible projects that have represented each of the 12 days.

I am the closer for the game so I got to create a project inspired by 12 Drummer’s Drumming! Although I can’t sing or play any instrument for the life of me, I can really appreciate music, especially Christmas music. I decided to create a neighbor gift inspired by the 12 Drummer’s Drumming.

Neighbor gifts are so dang hard sometimes, but giving them a little Christmas drum filled with candy would be the perfect way to help your neighbors power through the holiday season. Here’s what you need to make your own…

*Paint can container (I found mine in the dollar section at Target)

*Candy

*Printable tags

*Glue Gun

*Tape

*Ribbon

*Paper

*Scissors

First, take the handles off of your containers. They are now drums, not paint cans!

Cut your paper to the same height as your can. Stick the paper inside of your can to line it. Tape the ends of the paper together on the inside.

Put a little dot of hot glue on the can and put your ribbon on it. Do this on the top and the bottom of the can to create a zigzag design on the can.

Go around 2 times so that your zigzags overlap and create an X pattern on your drum.

Fill your drums up with candy!

Print off the printable tag for your drums.

Glue the tag onto your drum, front and center.

Now you have a cute, inexpensive gift to share with your friends, neighbors, or coworkers that takes little time and effort. That is my kind of gifting!
