Father’s Day Altoid Tin DIY – 6 Easy Steps

STEP 1:

Download the free cover art in the supplies list above and cut it out along the edges.

STEP 2:

Next, use your tin to trace the shape. I traced with a pencil on the back of the print-out and held it up to the light to check that the art was centered.

STEP 3:

Use your tin to trace the material you choose to line the inside. I used a cork sheet from Dollar Tree, but you can also use felt or decorative paper.

STEP 4:

Spread a thin layer of Mod Podge onto the lid and a little over the sides to accommodate any overhang, and glue the cover art to the lid. Smooth any overhang down, making sure all edges are completely glued.

STEP 5:

Then, evenly coat your lid art with Dimensional Magic using a brush or foam applicator to protect your cover art. One thin, even coat will do. Let dry before continuing.

Note: Dimensional Magic may look milky but it will dry completely clear.

STEP 6:

Add small keepsakes Dad will love. Find the full tutorial to make a pocket-sized accordion photo book here.
