For these tins, I left the goop out of the decoupage. I skipped the Mod Podge and the Aleene's Laminate It altogether. These altered containers are gifts for adults, so they won't need a topcoat anyway. It was much faster and easier than the two tin containers I've made with sealers, and I like the way they look. The product I used this time to adhere the paper to the tin is Scrapbook Adhesives Photo Tape 81' permanent super high tack tape by 3L. I bought it at the local scrapbooking store. I applied it close to the edge along all the edges of the paper and laid it onto the tin lunch box.
I scrapped the paper template I had downloaded and made my own template for the lids. It was worth the effort because it fit on the first try without trimming. In a future blog, I'll post instructions on how to make the template. Once you get one that works, trace it on card stock and cut it for additional lid.
I cased the buckle and scallop embellishment ideas from Stamping Fun w/ Sherrie, a talented SU demonstrator.
