Hello everyone! Today I thought it might be fun to make a cute little sewing kit- the perfect thing to hold our sewing essentials!
You will need:
Little candy tin
Some pretty paper
Trim
Scraps of felt
Needles, pins, thread, safety pins- whatever you would put in a small sewing kit!
Time to make: 20 minutes
Skill level: 2
Lets make it:
- Trace around the top of the tin onto the fancy paper. Cut out.
- Spread some mod-podge onto the top of the lid. Stick on the paper. Spread some glue onto the top of the paper to make a nice finish. Let dry completely.
- While your tin is drying cut some scraps of felt to stick needles and pins into.
- Once the tin is dry it is time to glue on trim! Carefully, glue the trim (with a hot glue gun) to the tin.
- See how pretty it looks??
- Here is my finished tin!

I have an old tin which I am definitely going to try and cover with pretty paper now! Do you have to use modge podge or could you use normal PVA glue or similar?

I think you probably could use normal PVA glue, but I like the nice finish that mod-podge gives

Thank You! I like it too. Actually I got it in a “ribbon sachet” from Hobby Lobby! Their was like 15 different ribbons in it with 2 yards of each. I didn’t like all of the ribbons but most of them I did!
Thanks again for asking!

Yeah I like it too! The quote was actually already there! My mom got the tin full of natural cough drops! I liked the quote so I left it there.
