    Altered tin ... what glue to use?

    I bought a sweetie tin in Home Bargains and would like to alter it to hold paperclips. The sides are fine (purple patterned) but the lid and the base is a picture of a star wars character. What glue can I use to stick paper to metal? Anyone done any tin altering?

    If it were me I would probably use my ATG, once that is stuck down it tends to stay put!

    I would use Claudine Hellmuths matte medium ... It will stick heavier embellies too ... Does n't feel tacky at all ... You just need to step away once applied and trust it to do it's job. Have fun!

    I altered a few tins a long time ago and just used the red double-sided tape and it worked fine.
