This is my first attempt at these things, and I think it turned out pretty well. Since everyone was so gaa-gaa over them I bought ten, now hopefully I can do a class on them. The piece in the hardware says "Just Stamp".

Thanks for all of the good replies! This only took about an hour (of course I was watching TV while working, which always seems to make me work slower).
I got the tin from Creative Express for $2.50 each, but I was at JoAnn's today and my store had a bunch for $4.99. I am going to show it to my stamp club tonight, hopefully I can get a class out of it.

I just made my first tin, and I can't figure out how to do the top. Yours looks perfect! Would you mind sharing your secret? If I lived in GA, I would certainly come to your class!

Use copy paper and make a template!! I measured the top and width, cut out a rectangle on copy paper, then rounded the corners with our small corner rounder. Then, since I am using copy paper, I traced around each handle and cut that part out with an Exacto knife, and cut a line in between the two handles. I then traced this template onto my Pretty in Pink paper (really I just traced the handles & rounded the corners since you can cut the CS to the right size). Let me know if that does not make sense and I will try to explain better.
