I have altered a tin and used metal to make my heart and wings for the lid. The tin, previously one of those sweet tins that you might put in the car for travelling, has been covered both in and out with different papers, lace added to the outside rim of the lid and the top and sides embellished with hearts, sentiments, flowers and a key charm.
Enjoy.
luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox
