Covered Tins



Altering items is really big at the moment... you only need to have a look in the papercraft section at Spotlight to see the huge range of tins available, just waiting to be covered and decorated. I've been wanting to do one for ages, and finally came across the perfect size at Spotlight (from Paper Crafts Australia, item code J4919).




Why is it the perfect size? Well, it fits my cards of course!




This set of 2 tins is covered in Stampin' Up!'s Fall Flowers designer series paper, and flowers from the Pretties Kit (these were coloured using matching Stampin' Write Markers).
EDITED: The small tin wasn't from Spotlight. It was given to me a while ago, with some samples of face creams, moisturisers, etc.


The tins were painted in ModPodge adhesive first, then the papers are attached. I painted a layer over the top of the paper too just to give it that extra bit of protection. Plus it makes sure the joins are stuck down beautifully.


I made some matching cards too. Will post them tomorrow!


Thanks for looking.
