Altering Lunch Box Tin - HELP!
I received a lunch box tin from a SS and I'm not sure how to go about altering it. Mostly, my question is what adhesive to use and how to I work around the handle? The rest I think I can pretty much figure out. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

I've used mod podge on my lunch boxes and Im pleased with the way it works, if you have a thinner paper it may bubble some though. I apply the mod podge in sections of the tin and place my paper on it. For the handle, I had gotten a template online for it but found out it wasn't right anyway so I just kind of made my own template from that. I know some people just paint their tops to match their paper, that would be easier Im sure. Also for the latch I use my coluzzle circles to cut a 1/2 circle for it, it looks better than trying to exacto knife around it.
Good luck, I've made tons of these, they're great! |
I use the small tag punch for the latch and the word window punch for the handles. And then embellish the imperfections.
For adhesive a thin coat of Royal Decoupage...Satin finish on the tin AND then the paper works well or the xyron. Good luck! |
Here is the link for the altered lunch tin. I used it and had to alter the lid holes around the handles just a bit. They are great instructions.

I use double sided tape to adhere my paper to the tin, both on sides and top......after 8 months, it is still sticking fine
