Oooo, what's inside?

I do believe that Pinterest is going to craft me to death! Every time I start browsing that site, I usually end up pinning a couple of items to my MUST MAKE board. LOL

I made the following for a gal in the Ongoing Holiday Swap on Craftster. As I was making my version of this project, I thought "Wouldn't my youngest love this but with a fairy instead of a mouse?"

First, I covered an Altoid tin with felt and flower buttons.
Then, I made the little mouse and his bedding.
While this project is super cute and tiny, it was a bit time consuming. The lesson that I learned was "Don't think just because something is little that it's a quick project". 

Guess I know what I'll be making soon! I just need to figure out how to make a little fairy. :)

At least you make the things you pin!! I can't say my time on pinterest is as productive :).

This is super cute. My little cousins would LOVE one. Did you glue or stitch the felt on?

I did both Lime. I glued the felt to the tin with E6000 and then added the stitching. :)
