One of my friends just passed her U.S. citizenship test and I thought that called for a little stitchy gift to help her celebrate. The Flatbed Uncle Sam was perfect for an Altoid tin top. I used button wheels on this one. Not sure what will go inside. I'm thinking red, white and blue hair accessories like barrettes and elastics topped off with a bit of chocolate. This one is stitched on Bay Rum Jobelan.

Love them both! The Altoid tin came out especially well. Is the blue on the bottom half a ribbon too? It almost looks like leather in your pic.
They are both very cute. I like how you are using the sequins and buttons. Nice job on the tin finish.
Love your Altoid tin!!!
Both finishes are beautiful! The tin is really nice.

Your turkey is adorable, and I like to think maybe he is just giving the pumpkin a ride! The tin is the perfect gift for your friend. Nice job on both!

Both finishes look gorgeous. The Altoid tin ius really specila, what a great gift. I have never tried myself on making one, it all seems so complicated to me. But I might try it one day as the result is fantastic.

Super finishes, Annie! What a neat idea to make a gift for a new US citizen--that'll be a treasured memento for her.

I love both finishes (and love your comment about the oblivious turkey!), but I have to say I adore your tin topper - great job, I'm sure your friend will treasure it :)
