How to make the Buggles Craft Home using an Altoid tin:

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
So let’s decorate your Altoids tin.
 
 
 
 
 
 
You can use any cute, little tin.  Save and recycle those metal containers.
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
All I did was trace the lid on my scrapbook paper and cut it out.  Then I evenly spread the glue and stuck the paper on.
 
I glued ribbon around the base of the tine and a cute little bow.
 
You could add buttons, stickers, tiny gems, etc.
 
 
 
 
 
 
And that’s it!  Now you have a darling little summer bug collection in a cute case!  I hope this inspires some creativity today!
