Description:

Who wants to try making an altered tin? I know I do!

The theme is spring. Let's decorate the outside, inside, and stuff it like a matchbox! Think flowers, weather, activities, foods, anything that reminds you of spring is perfect for this! You can fill it with brads, buttons, ribbon, charms, beads, a fabric charm, ATCs/Inchies (please no more than 3 ATCs or 6 Inchies), some candy (please make sure the wrapping is sealed tight as the weather is warming up! We don't want melted goodies!), anything you can think of. Just make sure there's a variety.

Requirements:

  • A square/rectangular Altoid tin

  • Decorate inside and out AS WELL AS stuffing it full of spring happiness!

  • Please don't make it too holiday heavy. You can add a bunny or four leaf clover if you want but this is about spring not Easter or St Patty's Day.

  • Be careful how you decorate the bottom of the tin on the inside. Don't want any of the stuffing to ruin it!

As we are all sophisticated and well-mannered I trust that I don't have to worry about ratings, flakers, non-raters, or bad quality. But if you encounter any of those issues within this swap please let me know!

If you want me to start a US only version of the swap please let me know as I'd be happy to oblige :-)

I never eat Altoids so I don't have any Altoid tins. Can it be some other kind of tin?

Doodlebabe 02/28/2010 #

Of course! I mainly said Altoids because everyone knows the shape and how big those things are.

I REALLY want to do this...but have no confidence in my ability to produce a tin worthy of sending......so I will go give it a try and watch for the next swap.

I'm with VJP... have never done it. Is it newbie-friendly/forgiving? I figured because of the title, but...

Doodlebabe 03/10/2010 #

I've never done one either! Please feel free to join even if you've never done it before :-) I know I certainly won't hold it against you because goodness knows this will be quite the experiment for me too!

oh, Drat! I missed the sign up deadline! Boo! Oh well, next time I guess.
