Cookie Tin Jewelry Box

Upcycled cookie tin from Paris to a new jewelry box

My sister went to Paris a few years ago and she brought back lots of stuff, one of those things was a tin full of cookies. When the cookies all eaten (not by me) she gave me the tin for crafting. I found it about a week ago and without the lid. Plus I was running out of space to store my jewelry so I made it into a jewelry box.
My biggest delema was what to do for the top design. Then I saw one of my necklaces I made, one that was inspired by a French magical girl series called "Lolirock" and I thought it would be cool if it had a matching jewelry box. So yesterday I finished painting it, and I'm very pleased with it
