I made a Northern Cardinal bird, pine cone, and red berry decoupage tin, using a Trader Joe's cocoa tin that I got around Christmas time.

I created this using a 3-ply paper Christmas napkin, which I separated to use only the ply with the image on it.

I used the same steps as I did for this wood box.

The tin lid was tight to begin with, but now that both have been decoupaged, the lid will have to remain off. This could be used as a pen holder. The backside ended up overlapping crooked but I didn't know it until it was too late to fix it. Note: I used one coat of antique white to paint the tin with, before decoupaging the napkin onto it.
