Suit Case Photo Holder for Summer Camp

Wow, I really have been neglecting you holiday lovers. I’ve been insanely busy, but that is no excuse. So, here is a summer craft project for kids – a photo holder for summer camp made with an ordinary mint tin.

* Lightly sand a tin and spray paint it.
* Punch holes in the fatter side of the tin opposite the hinges for a handle (Adult supervision or assistance required for this step unless you have one of those awesome screw down hole punches that jewelry makers use.)
* Thread beads on a piece of wire and push the two loose ends into the holes you punched. Secure the handle inside the tin by twisting the two ends together.
* Decorate the outside of the tin.
* Cut color copies of photos to put inside.
* Take a look inside your travel photo holder whenever you feel a bit homesick at summer camp.

    Can you change the ideas up more often, instead of leaving them up form months at a time?
    Thank you.

    Cute idea to use for picture taken at camp or on a trip.
    Many staff at summer camp will tell you that sending pictures to camp can make homesick campers worse!!!!
