First trace the shape of the tin onto the back of the paper and cut out. | |
Brush a thin layer of Mod Podge (MP) on the inside cover of the tin. Lay cut paper on top and smooth out any bubbles. Once dry, after a few minutes, apply another thin layer of MP on top and let dry. | |
In the same manner, apply a thin coat of MP to the top and bottom of case and add paper. Let dry. | |
Measure the width of the sides of the top and bottom of the tin and cut a strips of paper to fit. MP to the tin. | |
Add any decorative pieces. I lined the top and bottom of the tin with matching ribbon, and added a paper flower on top. |

Very cute little project! I love that you're upcycling too! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeletecute!!!! I use altoids tins for all sorts of stuff, but rarely actually decorate them....
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT idea to use the Altoid box for a gift card holder!! I'm definitely going to do this - I LOVE Altoids and probably have a bunch of empty boxes laying around! Thanks for the inspiration!
