What are you looking for? I made them for the cruise as one of my WOW swaps. I may have all of the dimensions of cuts & scroes. Let me know.

I would like to have the measurements and scoring if it's not a problem. I have a tin that I would love to try. Thanks so much.

Following are some instructions that I got off of here, sorry don't know who posted so can't give proper credit.

Use a 12 X 12 piece of cardstock, cut 3" tall and score every 2 1/8". This leave a 1" tab to glue down to the bottom of the tin.

Hope that helps.

Try making a photo copy of a tin. That's how I got my patterns to make my lunch tin tops.
HTH!!!!

Or you can just tear pieces and decoupage them down. They mold to the tin better if you dampen them before adhering them to the tin. Sounds cute!

One hint I know is that a nickle is the perfect size pattern for the rounded corners.
Hope that helps,
