Extra Chores can


 This is our new {extra chores} can.  When kids are whining, throwing fits, back talking, etc.  They will have the privilege of choosing a chore they normally don't do.  A fun one I came up with was cleaning your sisters room.  {k} picked that out of the can when we were explaining how it will work, and boy was that bad.  She got so mad that I would put that in there.  So details...

1 tomato sauce small can
double sided scrapbook paper
adhesive {really good adhesive}
tag punches {mine are stampin up}
twine or ribbon
popsicle sticks
sharpie marker pen

{How to}
Measure the height of the can, in between the lid and bottom.  Cut a strip of 12 inch paper to that width and adhere to the can.  Overlap about 1/2 inch and trim off the excess paper.  Cut another piece of paper using coordinating paper or the reverse of other paper and cut the height to fit in the center.  Adhere like the first piece of paper, really well so it will last. Print {extra chores- when your naughty} label on white card stock and use a long curvy punch to punch out the label.  Use another square curvy punch and punch a label using coordinating colored card stock.  Adhere square label to center of can.  Adhere long label over the square label.  Tie a piece of twine or ribbon with a knot on the front of the can.  Trim excess ends.
Write extra chores on one end of the popsicle sticks with a sharpie marker.
I hope this will be useful for you, I will keep you posted on how it works for our family.
