Admit it. You hate throwing out those used mint tins. They’re so darn cute! Now you don’t have to! Join mixed media artist, Christy Ammerman, as she shows you how to turn them (and old matchboxes) into pocket “shrines!”

You’ll start by decorating your tin or box with paint, paper, photos, fabric, or pretty much anything that will adhere to it. Then, you’ll continue adding various mixed media until your piece commemorates a person, place, or feeling—or just looks neat! The only “rule” for this workshop is that you have fun!
