Here's what I came up with. I gave my red satin ribbon a good twist before adhering it down. No bows or knots here!! I altered this mini lunchbox tin as a Christmas gift for my son's second grade teacher. Here's a peek at the other side.
I also made a set of 20 Christmas gift tags to go inside the tin, where they are organized by paper dividers I created. This should help my son's teacher keep all organized for gift prep!
Challenges:
- Stamp Something: with a tag or pocket
- Paper Sundaes: something cut out by hand (the gingerbread boy on the "flip" side was cut out by hand)
- Papertake Weekly: anything goes
- Simon Says Stamp: anything goes

What a super altered tin. I know your son loves to present his teacher with an item such as this. And, I see you even lined the tin. The tags are so pretty. That had to be a very happy teacher when she received this project.

Tee hee! What a cute tin, and I love how you've neatly filled it with an assortment of equally-cute tags. A super thoughtful gift, and one that is not likely to be forgotten or re-gifted or shoved away somewhere!
