Paint-Splattered To-Go Tins

THE TOOLS

• Acrylic paint
• Paper (we used a roll of cream paper)
• Craft knife
• Metal ruler
• Double-sided tape
• Mailing tubes
• 1 1/2-inch circle sticker labels

HOW-TO

1. Use acrylic paint on any type of paper to create free-form designs, such as a splatter painting, stripes, spots, color blocks, and random brushstrokes. Let paint dry completely.

2. Make the to-go tins: With a craft knife and metal ruler, cut paper into 3 3/4-by-6-inch sheets. Attach paper to tube using double-sided tape.

3. Download and print "XO" clip-art labels onto sticker labels; affix sticker to tube.
