Faux Wood Altoid Tin Box

Fantastic! Amazing what you can do with an Altoids tin, innit?

WOW!! LOOKS LIKE REAL WOOD!! Before i saw the caption i thought it was made from carving wood... IT DID TRICK ME!!
(sorry - bad english!)

That looks awesome!

Great job! This is really beautiful!
I cover Altoids tins too, but they don't look as nice as this! I was not very happy when Altoids decided to emboss their lids! Now I pick up tins where ever I can.

PJ, make sure you post yours when you finish. I really want to see what other people come up with.

Great tutorial! and great box

I love the wood grain look! These technique is easier than other instructions I have to make faux woodgrain. I have a ton of altoids tins- I have a brand new Makin's Professional Clay (Pasta) Machine that hasn't been opened... hmmm, I think it's time to play in clay!!!
Thanks for the Tut!

This looks so good, it really really does look like wood!

To be fair, a bunch of the steps are just because I couldn't post multiple photos in one step, like the bottles of paint followed by what it should look like followed by applying it to the tin. And the last 5 are "completed" photos. But thanks.

This is freaking crazy awesome. That looks so great. This is too ambitious for me to try but it's still very neat!

Goodness me, what a beautiful waste of time! This looks fantastic and I envy your sculpey skills.
