Our challenge this week is to alter a tin, so we've got three examples to show you. The square tin is recycled and has been alcohol inked over the silver body, and a metal panel hides the manufacturers name on the lid!The "secrets" tin is actually a bought for altering "band-aid" tin, which has been covered in script paper, then distressed and sealed.
The pink tin is another bought for altering tin - a small size "lunch tin", which again has been altered with scrapbook papers and quite a lot of ribbons!
We hope this will just give you a flavour of the many possibilities ... and once again provide something you can either use or give away as a gift! So show us what you can do ....

Thanks for looking
Hello lovely ladies! Here's my tin http://gotart4u.blogspot.com/2008/11/awfully-big-art-adventure.html
Thanks for stopping by to take a look, and have an art-filled weekend!!
These are inspirational girls! Now where did I put that tin I kept for altering!!! X
These are all beautiful! I've been saving lots of tins. But I have a question. On recycled tins done with alcohol ink, do you bake them on the grill, like Patty at Magpies Nest does? I'm wondering if there is another way.
Interestingly enough, I've been looking into this - just this very week!
