Description:

EDITED Do your best to decorate INSIDE and OUTSIDE of an altoid tin in OCEAN, NAUTICAL, OR MER THEMED. Use ANY media you are comfortable with.

4.98 with 1 month to send so you have time to make what you want (makers choice just in case you can only do 1 theme but if you are better at these then it would be nice to go via profile)

This is the first for me.. I do not know what these are called or how to describe them. So I put alot of links to show you what I am thinking. It can be anything simple or difficult. Please keep in mind some of us are new to these so you may get a simple one in return. I listed the links first that I really love, its more of what I am thinking of what to make but may not know how..

These are called altered altoid tins. you are going to do great! I do this as an assignment for my painting students at Christmas time and they LOVE it! I even made a template so you can paint your scene on the paper, cut it out and glue it like a liner inside of the tin. if you would like a template for the liner, inside of the tin lid and the cover, just message me your address and I will mail you one. otherwise, it is really easy and fun and just think outside...er, inside of the box! I use E6000 glue to attaché all of my stuff inside.

Can I use any media that I want? I want to use clay and acrylic resin instead if paper.
