recycling formula cans into cute storage containers

Formula can turned into storage for wipes.  Lately, while I am sitting around watching a movie I have started covering formula cans with twine and then embellishing them with a design using the twine.  Basically I glue and cover with twine, glue and cover with twine until its completely covered.  I tried to do a tight roll around the can but you can still see some gaps in between.  Once that is done I glue circles w/ the twine and then have the string come out to get a connected swirly effect. I also covered some to store diapers, pencils, etc....  I did have to stick the wipes in plastic bag inside so they don't rust the can.
