Altoid Tin Swap!
I'm hosting a decorated Altoid Tin Swap. So far I have 6 very crafty people signed up to participate. If you would like to join in please leave a comment so I can reach you and give you your partner information. You can use any medium to decorate your tins.....decorative papers, stamps, vintage bit of this and that.....whatever you want! The theme is up to you also! Get a jumpstart on a fall/Halloween creation or maybe a nice summer theme would be nice? Cut off to sign up is June 6th and finished tins should be sent out the first week in July.
Here are just a few tins I've done to jump start some ideas.....
Just a few tips from my trials and errors.....
Base your tin with Gesso, let dry then base with any color of acrylic paint (sometimes you need 2-3 coats). Gel medium works the best to adhere decorative papers to the painted tin. E-600 glue works very well when glueing on heavier items to the tin.
Hope to have you join in on the fun!
