Our wonderful designs are coordinated so you can create endless combinations to celebrate
any season. For a delightful surprise, make a clever Book In
A Tin™ using glass topped aluminum containers!
Here's how:
|
| 1. |
Choose
a large punch to make several cardstock cut-outs. (Marvy/Uchida
makes a 1.5" circle punch that fits the 41mm tin and a 2.25"
circle punch that fits the 70mm tin.) |
|
|
| 2. |
Stamp
and color the punched shapes as desired. |
|
|
| 3. |
Lay
the punched shapes side by side, decorated sides facing down, with
a small space (approximately 1/4") between each one. Check
that you have arranged the shapes in the order you want them to
show in your "book". Apply a thin layer of crafting glue
to the back of each shape, and lay a ribbon across the entire length
so it is centered on the shapes. |
|
|
| 4. |
Press
a second punched shape on top of each piece as a backing. (In other
words, you're making a ribbon sandwich, with the ribbon as the filling.)
Let glue dry. |
|
|
| 5. |
If
you wish, you can even add music to your
Book In A Tin™! Use crafting glue to adhere an electronic
music button to the inside bottom of the tin. With a piece of foam
tape, cover the button with a punched shape stamped with our C1-450
Push Here. |
|
|
| 6. |
Lay
the ribboned "book" pieces into the tin accordion-style,
one by one, in reverse order (last piece first, so that the beginning
of your message ends up on top).
Place the glass-topped lid on top, and you're done! |
