In the center of the string of pictures, I put the picture Ryan drew for his dad. The other one he drew is on a circle the same size, taped to the back. Sorry about it being out of focus. I'm trying to hurry through this because my daughter is having her baby in about 40 minutes and I want to get to the hospital.



Once all of the pictures were strung together, I made a loop with the ribbon behind the top picture.



This is what they look like all in a row.



Next you fold them all into the tin, acordian style, starting with the one closest to the tin.

This is what it will look like when they are all inside.



Then you put the lid on.



You can tuck the loop inside or let it hang out.



I'm going to have Ryan color on another circle of paper tomorrow to tape to the lid. I might run it through a Xyron machine to coat the back of it with adhesive since it will be on the outside of the tin.

It would be fun to do this with Christmas pictures and have the kids paint the outside of the lid. Then hang it on the Christmas tree with the loop. There are lots of possibilities.

If I didn't explain something clearly, let me know. I have a tendency to leave out little details.
