1. Remove Altoid tin lid and Prime the bottom.
2. Click here for the girl on mushroom image. Print it out and attach girl image to cardstock. Cut out and then glitter her wings.



3. Punch four small holes in the bottom of the altoid tin




4. Mix ivory and pale yellow paint to make a soft pastel yellow. Paint the altoid tin all over.



5. Varnish after the paint has dried. Let sit and dry.
   
   Meanwhile, take a circle shape paper punch and pink cardstock and punch out four round circles. If you have a butterfly punch. Punch out two butterflies and glitter.



6. Use alphabet stamps and stamp the word GROW. One letter on each circle.



7. Paper glue the circle to the middle of the flower head
8. Use pretty scrapbook paper and line the back of the altoid tin. Using paper glue to hold.



9. String pink ribbon thru the small holes while tying a knot to secure. To the ends of the ribbon tie the little jingle bells.
10. Use ribbon or seam binding to tie at the top of the tin. Glue your sparkly green ribbon or decorative trim to the inside bottom of the tin to make it look like grass. Glue the small crystal decorative flowers and stems. Then glue the bottom of the girl to the altoid tin. I use a bit of extra cardstock on the very bottom of the image so it will stay glued and secure to the bottom. Then glue a small flower to the hand of the little girl.


11. Use hot glue or strong craft glue to glue the “GROW” flowers to the top of the tin.
