DIY: Can O' Dates

This was the inspiration picture that I found on Pinterest. It led me to a wonderful website called The Dating Divas. This is a link to the Can O' Dates.

The ladies give you 2 templates to decorate your can, red & black as well as pink & brown. The hubby suggested that we do the pink & brown because those were our wedding colors! So sweet.

I even found a ribbon that we used on our wedding programs. I used it to attach the can opener and the reminder of where to go for more date ideas.

They also give you a pdf file that  has date ideas for you. All you do is print off the pdf and cut apart all of the dates! When you print off the label for the top of the can, it says 36 ready to go date ideas. They lie!!!! But in a good way. The pdf is a 17 page document full of dates. My can is pretty darn full, as you can see.

I went a step further after what I found on The Dating Divas' website. I hope you noticed the color inside of the can. I took some of my scrapbook paper and applied it to the back of every single date idea. This is what took me more than the easy 20 minutes. However, I love it and think it was totally worth the extra time. Then again, I'm crazy and a little addicted to my scrapbook paper. =)

I still LOVE the polka dots!! These 4 papers alternate the backs of all the dates.

Hope you guys have fun on these dates!
