Hi Stampers :
I wanted to show you this sweet tooth fairy tin I made from a Altoid tin ( Before & After) .
These tins are so simple to decorate all you really need to do is measure the front of your tin and adhere card stock or Designer paper with sticky strip.
Once you do it You will be amazed how simple they are .
I made mine into a tooth fairy keeper using the new stamp called Tooth Fairy #119216 (page 18 in Big catalog) so when your little one lose a tooth put their tooth inside tin and put under their pillow then the tooth fairy can add a small treat ( Money hopefully ) inside.
I made this one with Pretty in Pink card stock #100459 and LOTS of Rhinestones #119246 and I also added some doodle dots with the White gel pen # 105021 all over and then some Dazzling Diamonds # 102023 to the Tooth fairy image .
I also added Sticky strip #104294 around the tin ( right around the lid edge ) then added some Pretty in Pink Taffeta ribbon# 109067 to the sticky strip .
I used the scallop circle punch to punch out image and just hand cut the notches around the image. For the big Pink Pirouette flower I used Fancy Flower punch # 118073
Have a marvelous Monday and Thanks so much for peeking in today.
Until later.. Happy Stampin!
Lovin' the Bling

Do you do anything special to adhere the covering cardstock since the top of the Altoids tin is embossed and not flat? Thank you!

Amazing!!! I'll have to buy an Altoids box because my six year old will be losing a tooth before too long! This will be perfect!!!!!
I have all my stuff (finally!) and I'm busy unpacking. My stamping room is one hot mess at the moment as every box that wouldn't fit anywhere else is stuffed in there, lol! I can't even GET IN my room yet. But soon, very, very soon I'll be stamping again...

Adorable, what do you have on the lower portion of the tin? Looks gold? Did you paint it or is that paper? Very very cute.
