Old West Altered Tin


For whatever reason, I am infatuated with Texas, the old west, cowboys, cowgirls, rodeos, barns, farms, ranches...all of it.  So when I discovered altering Altoids tins, the deep red of the tin sparked the idea of doing an old west tin.  The front is covered with craft sticks cut and painted to look like barn wood.  Inside, I created altered tags and included some vintage game pieces.  I used  my daughter's saddle to display it on for the listing on Ebay.
