Default Decorating Altoid Tins

Would someone be able to give me a few pointers on decorting the Altoid tins? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks, LJF

I just painted the top with craft paint. Stamped in Stazon (but could have used Basic Black, I think) and colored with SU markers. Then put several (emphasis on SEVERAL....) coats of clear spray on it.

I have only done one, I got the idea from a post on here. I versamarked the top of one, layered silver detail ep on it. After I got it pretty thick I stamped an image into it. It looked really cute.

Hope this helps

Look in the member gallery under Jami, if I knew how to attach a link I would, she just posted an altoid tin and card set yesterday, it is totally adorable.

For people who decorate any tins with paper, what adhesive do you use? Tacky tape? Xyron? Anything else?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Tacky Glue might work. That stuff works on metal, wood, glass and fabric and its cheap and dries clear. Found partically everywhere.
