So here is what I used: wedding favor tins, bristle brush trees, strong glue, permanent ink pad, rubber stamps, twill ribbon, glass glitter, and ledger paper; (scissors, pencil, and magnets not shown).
I used the bottom half of the tin to trace a circle onto the ledger paper. I cut inside of the pencil line to make the final circle a little smaller. A little glue and the paper is stuck inside of the tin. Let dry.
These little bottle brush trees started out green but got dunked in a bleach bath to turn them a lovely vintage cream color. I glued the little wooden base to the inside of the tin. Let dry.
Time to add the glitter! There's about a tablespoon worth of glitter in each tin. It covers the wooden base and can be seen when the lid goes back on. Use more if you really love glitter! Don't forget to put the lid on so that the glitter doesn't fall out.
Cut the twill ribbon long enough to wrap around the tin with just a little overlap. I used rubber stamps that I had: "imagine", "hope", and "believe". The permanent ink dries almost immediately on the ribbon.
Apply glue to the back of the ribbon and carefully wrap around the tin. This not only decorates the magnet but also keeps the tin closed. You could also used tape to secure the lid and then add the ribbon over top of it.
Cut a 1 inch piece of self-stick magnet and place on the back of the tin. You may need more depending on the weight of your finished tin.
And here is my completed winter magnet hanging out with my favorite quote on the fridge
It is a confession: "I hoard sewing and craft supplies that I smuggle in while he's still at the office". My husband thinks I do this. How dare he!
