I’m so excited to finally be sharing some real fall projects. First up is this simple treat can. The combination of grey felt, beautiful, crisp fall leaves and turquoise is quite possibly my favorite fall combination to date.
These treat cans are so simple. All you need are some recycled cans, fall leaves, twine and double stick tape. My can is a nut can but a coffee can would be perfect too. The leaves are from my recent trip to Washington. I brought them back in my suitcase and they survived the journey. 
Simply cut your felt to fit the can and use strong double-sided tape to stick it on. Pick a couple of leaves and wrap them in twine or embroidery floss. Rather than use the lid, I like to package my goodies in cellophane or parchment paper. Make sure you seal them up in a baggie first so they stay fresh. 
The perfect fall treat to include in your pretty tin? Graham Cracker Toffee Bark from The Pioneer Woman’s Tasty Kitchen {click over for the easy recipe}.
I’ve shared these before here on the blog and as you can see in the photo above, I added chopped almonds that time. 
Just a warning – this bark is so good it’s almost addicting. A friend who makes a similar recipe has nicknamed the bark after a very bad drug because of it’s addicting power. Yup, you’ll want to get the bark wrapped up and gifted so it’s not in your house too long. 
Of course, you have to keep a little for yourself.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Simple, but so beautiful! What a way to give gifts!
