Any embellishments or decorations you want to use

Step 1:
Measure and cut the scrapbooking paper to fit on the front, top and bottom of the inside and the back side of the tin. Glue it all together! This can be done by tracing around the tin.

****Make sure you don't interfere with the hinges so it will still open and close.

Step 2:
For the sides you will need to measure the paper and glue it around the outside. A ribbon can easily be used too!
