Step 1

Base
Cut 4 strips of light blue cardstock 4cm x 30cm. Create 2 long strips by attaching two strips together end to end using double-sided tape. Cut each strip to 55cm in length. Attach one strip around the top of tin and the other around base using double-sided tape.

Step 2

Join the two ‘summer sunset’ papers together then cut to 18cm x 55cm. Adhere around centre of tin slightly overlapping the blue cardstock strips. Cut 2 x 50cm lengths of orange ribbon and attach over top and bottom edges of ‘summer sunset’ paper.

Step 3

From the blue cardstock cut 7 squares 3.5cm x 3.5cm. Attach cork letters spelling ‘holiday’ to the squares and adhere around the centre of the tin.

Step 4

Print out or handwrite your holiday destination and the date onto white paper. Stick under the cork letters slightly to the left. Attach buttons at bottom of white sign. Write ‘treasure tin’ onto the tag and thread 10cm of orange ribbon through the hole. Attach the tag to tin on right-hand side of white sign.

Step 5

Lid
Cut a 12cm diameter circle from both the blue cardstock and the ‘summer sunset’ paper. Cut a 1.5cm piece from one side of the ‘summer sunset’ paper and discard. Attach the remainder on top of the blue circle. Stick a length of orange ribbon over the join and attach a favourite holiday photo. Adhere the circle to the lid.
