Duct tape has never been prettier! Create a unique container for gift giving this holiday season- a perfect choice for a “Secret Santa” gig!

You’ll Need:santa-suit-pail-gift-idea

1 Paint Can (you can get these in the Paint Department at Lowes for a couple dollars)
Red Spray Paint OR Red Duct Tape
Black Glitter felt or construction paper
White Craft Boa ($1)
Funky Colored Duck Tape (your choice)

Paint your can red, or wrap red duct tape around the pail (1 strip at a time, completely going around the entire pail.) Repeat until pail is covered.

Wrap a strip of Zebra style duct tape (I found this at walmart over the summer for $2) around the pail as Santa’s beltline.

Cut a small square of glittered felt to make the “Belt Buckle”, adhere using hot glue.

Wrap the feather boa around the top of the can, adhere using hot glue.

👩‍🍳 About the Author

Melissa "Liss" Burnell started Budget101.com in 2001 because she needed it to exist — not because she saw a market opportunity. She was feeding a family of four on under $200 a month, and people kept asking how, so she started writing everything down.

That turned into 25 years of recipes, debt-busting strategies, and DIY content — including figuring out how to make 128 loads of laundry detergent for less than $2. Millions of families have quietly used this site to stretch a dollar without feeling like they're sacrificing anything. She's also the author of two bestselling budget cooking ebooks, available on Amazon.
