This is one of my favorite projects I've finished recently! My son needed a safe spot to keep lost teeth until the tooth fairy arrived. And we just happened to have the perfect tin to upcycle. It is featured on the Scrapbookpal.com blog.
Step 1: Wash and dry a mini Altoids tin.
Step 2: Use a paint dauber and some acrylic craft paint to cover the logo and nutrition facts on the tin.
Step 3: Cut a small piece of cardstock to cover the top of the tin and round the corners (any color except white, so the tooth will stand out).
Step 4: Use Lawn Fawn's Claire's ABCs stamp set to stamp "tooth fairy" on the right side of the cardstock.
Step 5: Cut a tooth shape from white cardstock. I looked at some clip art online for reference.
Step 6: Use Lawn Fawn's Sweet Friends stamp set to stamp a cute face on the tooth, and adhere the tooth to the left side of the cardstock.
Step 7: To make this a bit more durable you can laminate the piece of cardstock or cover it with clear packing tape.
Step 8: Once the paint on the tin is dry, you can use really strong adhesive tape (Scor-Tape) to stick the cardstock to the top of the tin.
Step 9: Adding a piece of felt to the inside makes a nice resting spot for a tooth.
