Ribbon Cans...

I've been seeing videos of scrappers making their own Ribbon holders/dispensers and thought I'd give it a try...
 First, I gathered my supplies...
 With my jumbo emery board I roughed the can up a little...
 Then I measured my paper that I wanted to cover my can in...
 Now, take the Mod Podge and coat an area of the can for my paper to stick to...
 Once the entire can was covered and I had put a thick coat of Mod Podge over my paper, I set it to the side to dry.
 Now that my can is dry, I can use the Crop-a-dile to punch my eyelet holes in it...
 Now for the eyelets...
 I used the same tool, just changed the setting to the eyelet setter...
 I then dropped my spools of ribbon in, then threaded them through the eyelet holes.
All done!

For my less ''crafty'' friends that want a ribbon holder, but think they can't do what I've done above (or don't have the supplies needed)...
For this box, I simply punched holes in the lid and added eyelets to run the ribbon through.
