Altered Love Tins

The first item I ever altered was a tin. My love of altering all things came from this.

Today I want to share with you how easy it is to alter tins with the instructions on how to make the pictured "Love" tin. Of course you can make your anyway you want and below I have shown you pics of various tins I have altered over the years. I have included instructions on how to measure and alter tins of any size or shape.

If you would like to try altering a tin here are the instructions.

Papers & embellishmetns are available at Dragonfly Scrapbooks

These 3 tins were featured in The Handmade magazine August 2007. The tall tin is an Illy coffee tin, the B&W is a Harris coffee tin and the front one is simply a biscuit tin.

Each of these tins are purchased tins.

Illy coffee tins. These are my favourite tins to cover. Check out you local area for a cafe that uses Illy Coffee and politley ask them what they do with there tins once they have emptied them.

Welcome to miss~nance and beyond

Welcome to my new blog. this is where I will be sharing tutorials of my off the page or as my title infers beyond the page projects.

Every few weeks or so I will be posting a new tutorial for you to have a try at. I will be showing simple canvasses, how to alter tins, mini albums, monograms, might even do a mirror or something a little quirky like a bottle. If there is a specific OTP project you would like to try please leave me a message.

In the meantime why don't you pop over to DragonFlyScrapbooks let Kristy know I sent you. All the materials needed to cover and embellish my projects can be bought there. If Kristy doesn't have what you need she will get it for you.
