This post is going to resonate specially with my fellow miniaturists from Spain, because it features a local famous brand for canned tuna.
This project has been in the back burner
for a long time. First, because I changed my printer and had to learn
how to use the scanner. Second, because I could not get a good wrapper
to scan. Well, today, that changed!
Hubby had to help me to set the scanner to work remotely on my computer,
but he is the best and he doesn't mind doing these things for me :)
The thing is, I found these tiny round cans in one of my suppliers' website:

Tiny adorable cans!
|
And as they point out, they look similar to tuna cans. So I decided to buy 3, to make a set of a very well-known package of tuna cans. They normally come in sets of 3, but recently they released them in an offer of just one at a very cheap price. So instead of doing a set of 3, I am doing them one by one.
And so, today I finally was able to scan the carboard package, which looks like this:
Then I resized the image in Photoshop, and printed 3 copies to make the wrappings:

It measures only 0.7 cm in high!
|
It was fun to cut them, fold them and glue them around the cans:
 |
I love them!
|
These are going to the beach hut, because it is always a good idea to have canned food, in case you get hungry at the beach!
 |
They are tiny, but they look so real!
|
And also, since I was busy with the beach hut, I decided to glue the straw carpet to a piece of cardboard, because it was getting warped. Now it looks just like new:
So, if you have around some tiny round cans, or you just want to order them from Tienda de Casitas, here is a link to the free printable with a lot of wrappers for you! Of course, they will fit perfectly the ones I bought, but you can resize them if yours are a different size. As always, please feel free to print as many times as you like, gift
them to friends and pass the file along to anyone (links back are nice
too!). Just please do not sell the file or your creations. Thank you
and enjoy! ♥
