I took one of the tins with the accordion fold pieces in it and carefully covered it and made this. I was so careful with it when I covered it not to break the folds open. Well of course when I was showing my Mom what I made I pulled too hard and the pieces came apart. Well, then I had to go into thinking mode and figure out what I was going to do next.
Not a problem. I added an eyelet to the top right corners and used a chain to keep them all together. I actually like them better this way. And as you can see I altered the tin too. There is a space on the inside that she can add info to.

Very smart idea to add the eyelet and chain! A key ring would have worked too! Love the way this turned out - great patterns and colors and just a lovely gift for your friend!
