Re: How to Make a Candy-Tin Sewing Kit

here's an idea for the outside of the tin:
lightly sand the outside, wipe clean
brush a coat of All Purpose Sealer onto the outsie
brush on acrylic paint for the bottom, top & sides, apply as many as you like; let dry between coats
Apply matte varnish (I like the spray kind)

I printed out a small paper piece block from my EQ program and made a cover/top for the outside using the same construction method as above for the inside pincushion (instead of an pincushion inside I used a magnet to hold the needles).
