Graphic 45 Christmas Tin

I finally had the chance to alter one of the Graphic 45 metal film canisters. These tins are the perfect size to hold cookies, fudge, or other Christmas treats! I removed the round mini album that comes inside the tin. I am not big fan of round mini albums, but I am sure I'll find a use for that guy in the future! {grin}

I cut my paper in a large circle and attached it to the top of the lid. Then I decorated the tin all pretty for Christmas, including using some very sparkly ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon!

I used more paper and ribbon to go around the bottom of the tin and the lid. Very pretty!

I fussy cut the holly from several sheets of Santa Express, then I popped some of the holly to create dimension.

The sparkly poinsettias are from a huge kit that I won from Prima YEARS ago. And yep, I still have a bin of them!

I hope this inspires you to create a gift tin or fancy gift bag for someone this year! For more inspiration, stop by the Graphic 45 Blog.
