Altered Coffee Drink Tin

My friend's birthday was Saturday and I missed it! I felt so bad. She's always there to help me get ready for clubs and stamp camps; how could I miss her birthday?!!! I just had to find something to make for her. I saved a couple of these International Coffee Drink Mix tins. I thought they'd make nice containers for buttons, large brads, or other small items. I decided to pretty one up for Sarah!!!

I used some "Cutie Pie" designer paper (retired, sadly) and covered the outside of the tin and part of the top of the lid. This was an easy item to alter. I also stamped with one of the "Yummy" (2009 SAB) stamps, cut it out, and adhered with Glue Dot Runner (so that it wouldn't be permanent). I wanted her to be able to remove my label and maybe add her own telling what's inside.

I used Hershey's Nuggets with almonds to fill the tin. Twenty-four nuggets seemed just the right amount. I made labels with her name on them and tried to match the polka dots on my labels to the ones on the designer paper. I think they turned out really cute. I already have a belated birthday card to give to her with this little gift! (I need to keep some of those around!) Thanks for stopping by today!!!
