Repurposed Altoid Tin into Sweet Love Notes!

{This is older post that I thought I would share with my readers again.  Such a fun idea!  I hope you enjoy it!)

 This would be such a cute gift for your hubby, friend, or child.

An adorable tin with cute little words in different fonts!  

 

Here is what I did:

First I took the container and traced some cute Valentine paper around the shape of the container.  Next, I cut out the shape and Mod Podged it on the container.  I smoothed out the paper with a brayer.  You can add anything you'd like on the container:  Buttons, stickers, etc..Be creative!

I printed out hundreds of different words onto just regular old printer paper and used different fonts for each word (I am kinda a fontaholic!).  I cut out each word (which is a pain in the fanny!).  Then I laminated each one of those buggers.  Yes, it took forever, but it was fun thinking of different sentences I could make with all the words!  If you don't have a laminator, you can use contact paper.

It takes a while to cut out each word.  Buy a roll of magnet with sticky stuff on one side.  One roll should be plenty.  Stick the magnet on the back of each word, and Walaah!  You have a sweet, inexpensive gift to give someone for Valentines day or any day!   

How fun is it to make funny sentences on your fridge?  I love it!  My kids love it!
