No more mints, but plenty of cool.

The pictures aren't so great, but it looks pretty spiffy when you actually see it. The second picture shows of the glitter nail polish really well.
I just converted it into an ipod case by putting some foam on the inside. I'll add pics soon - once i drill out a hole for the ear-bud cord.
A quick run-through of how I made this:
I cleaned the top with windex to remove any residual oils, then painted it with the solid color nail varnish/polish/whatever. I recommend good ventilation for this step!
I cut out my image and applied glue with the glue stick to the back of the picture NOT the top of the tin. I then cut out 4 larger hearts and two smaller hearts from a foil gum wrapper and glued those down, too. Again the glue goes on the back of the paper, not the front of the tin. I covered the whole thing with the glitter clear nail polish to seal and protect it, as well as to give it some sparkle.
