What's the best way to decorate lunch tins?

[heylady]

I've tried to decorate my lunch tin and it isn't working. Everyone seems to get them to turn out so cute! I'm having a hard time getting the papers straight, and my paper bulges in areas where there isn't adhesive. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? TIA!

What are you using to adhere it? I love mod podge! It works so good. I apply it to the tin and then put my paper on. You will want to smooth it out with your hands so that you won't have any bumps! I also put a layer on top so that my cardstock is good and stuck down.
Better yet read the tips from the pro... Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers

Mod Podge, Mod Podge, Mod Podge!!! It is the best *at least to me* when doing lunch tins.

For the notch where the latch is, I use the circle punch and only punch in part way. I think it looks better than the ragged cutting job I'd do trying to make it line up:mrgreen:
