Bright and Merry Altered Tin

Have you made an altered tin?  This was a first for me and was not as scary as I thought it would be.  As usual, I didn't necessarily plan what I was doing but had a rough idea as to how I wanted it to look and feel.

I have created a YouTube video, as that is an easier medium to show how I put it together, however, I think it is important to just get out there and try your own take on an altered tin and see just how easy it is to do.

Measurements

The strips that wrap around the lid and bottom of the tin are 12 x 3/8" (30cms x 1cm) (top) and 12 x 1/2" (30cms x 1.3cm) (bottom).  They do not quite make it all the way around, therefore I added the sentiments to cover the gaps.  These are ad-hoc sizes, depending on the sentiments you want to use.

The rectangles of designer series paper (DSP) that go on the top, inside of the lid and the bottom of the tin are all 4"x 23/8" (10cm x 6.5cm).  The inside of the tin is slightly smaller, however, I just used my fingernails to push the DSP into all the edges and this worked fine.
