Mother’s Day Altoid Tin DIY – 6 Easy Steps

STEP 2:
Download the free cover art in the supplies list above and cut it out along the edges.

STEP 4:
Glue the Floral Art on by applying Mod Podge to the top of the lid and a little over the side to accommodate any overhang. Smooth any overhang down making sure all edges are completely glued down.

STEP 5:
To finish, 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:
Line the inside of your tin with felt or decorative paper and add a small keepsake. To make a pocket-sized photo book, link to the full tutorial here –> How to Make an Accordion Photo Book.
