Ideas to wrap a large tin of sweets - please

yabajaz

I am great at wrapping square cornered stuff..... but have the task of giftwrapping 6 large tins of sweets.
any ideas greatfully received before I give it and pleat paper for 3 hours x

my mum tends to stick some celotape onto the tin itself and then the rest just happens. it's never perfectly wrapped... but at the end of the day - it's going to be ripped opened and not examined

I always turn the tin upside down so the messy bit is at the bottom. You will never get it perfect but mine generally look reasonable.

if they're circular tins, there's a clip here showing you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=959QOJ0hZ0U

I normally draw around the tin and cut this out twice for top and bottom, then roll paper around the middle, fold the edges down and then stick the nice cut out shape on top and bottoom to hide the mess x

as you bring the paper up the side of the tin, make pleats, all the way around, then fold over the top/bottom to sellotape it securely.

could you use tissue paper?
