Instructions:

1. Prepare the tin first by sanding the label, wiping it clean of dust and then painting a layer of gesso over the entire outside. Set it aside for about 24 hours to make sure it has completely dried.

2. Age the white paper, swirling first the alabaster and then the burnt sienna in a random manner.

3. Spray a light coat of the Moon Shadow Mist ink over the entire sheet and allow to dry overnight.

4. Stamp the images randomly, in Burnt Sienna, all over the paper.

5. Holding the tin next to the stamped paper, look for an area that would make an appealing lid. Lay the tin on top of the area and draw around the tin about 1/2" away from the edge to allow for the paper to turn over the edges and cover the sides. Repeat for the bottom of the tin.

6. Coat the bottom of the tin with Modge Podge. Center the paper and pressing it firmly down, removing all air bubbles. Allow for the paper and glue to dry some. Take scissors and make a cut on the diagonal from the corner of the paper to the corner of the tin. With the paper folded over the edge, run your fingernail along the lip of the tin, making a crease in the paper and then trim with an Xacto knife.

7. Apply a thin layer of Modge Podge onto the paper and fold the edges over, pressing the paper down to the tin. Repeat in the same manner for the top of the tin.

8. Once the Modge Podge has dried, run Wonder Tape around the sides of the tin on both the top and bottom and then press Micro Beedz into the tape.

9. To finish the top of the tin, apply a thin layer of Modge Podge and sprinkle with Stardust

10. Place some of the stars on a small area of the lid to make the shaker. With the Gloo attach the watch crystal over the stars, creating the shaker.

11. Line up the glass embellishments along the sides.

12. Bend and bead the copper wire adding the key and attach with glue dots.

13. To conceal the dots sprinkle some stardust onto the exposed areas and then tap off.
