An adhesive tag is attached for the title background. The title has been created using handwritten cursive style adhesive lettering available from scrapbook supply stores.

Choose a nice dimensional feature sticker that is themed to your contents or event. Attach a clear buckle to a length of ribbon and secure it at both ends of the tin to form a belt.

Using lengths of ribbon create a taggie style finish by tying lengths around this belt until all the ribbons are bunched up and it looks full. You can also use lengths or lace or wool.
