year on clearance after christmas. This is how I get most of my tins. I was going to stamp a lunch bag when I was digging through my drawers I found the tins. I forgot I even had them. I still have more I can decorate for Christmas gifts now!I used a packaged set of paper from Provo Craft that my kids recieved last Christmas, because I needed to match the purple and I wanted Turquoise to match the card. The turquoise & gingham Purple ribbon was a Micro spool from Walmart, the olive rick rak was a micro spool from Joanns. I removed the handle and then adhered all the paper with tape runner. then I also taped the ribbon and rick rack and adhered it quickly, I didn't find the tin with enough time to use Modge Pog. On the strip of paper I cut a notch with scissors and a rounded half circle with my 1/2" circle punch to go around the closure. It took about 20 min to make. Only becasue I have covered tins in the past.
Until Later... Happy Stamping!
Absolutely beautiful!!! I have never covered a lunch box. The handles look hard to do.
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful!!!! It turned out really great, she's going to love it. How exactly do you get the handle off without bending/breaking something? I havn't been successful with that.
ReplyDeleteI use a screw driver, a small one large from a jewelry set, and put it under the tabs inside and then just bend up Part way. then slghtly pulling the handle it will come off then I lay each edge flat and bend the tabs to a 45 degree angle so they can go back through.
ReplyDeletefrom the inside of the tin, I use the same screw driver to pierce the paper so I can get it back on. If it is riveted on I have just measured and punched and made a straight line slit betweent he holes for the handle and if I have more than 1 box I make a template from a cereal box to save me the measuring and placement later. HTH
Thanks Kathy, you did a wonderful job! Shari
