Mint Tin Upcycled Mini Album

Happy vacations photos should be shared, right? Not stuck in cell phones or on computers! Free your pictures and show ’em off.

Mint Tin Upycled Mini Album - Yesterday on Tuesday

To make a mini photo album out of a mint tin, you only need a few supplies: a mint tin, Mod Podge, double sided tape, a map or paper, stuff for embellishing like a small piece of ribbon and a button and most importanty… a small stack of vacation photos. Print them out (3″ x 2 ” size) in batches with your home printer. You don’t even need photo paper… regular white printer paper or cardstock works great.

Cut out a piece of map or paper larger than the lid of the tin.

    I also love using a mini-tin for a first aid or sewing kit. Lots of fun uses! Thanks for sharing Malia.

    Cute idea Malia! Makes a great keepsake. I love the idea of putting the map on the top of the tin. There is so much potential in an empty tin of mints!

    This is such a great idea! I’ve been looking for ideas to put together a little package for my sister who just moved away, and this is definitely happening in some form! Thanks so much for sharing! I would love if you shared this at my Throwback Thursday party. I hope to see you there. :) https://www.hubbymademe.com/throwback-thursday-no-5/
