a pate box altered

There is this popular Polish pate that comes in a tin made from thick aluminum foil, silvery on inside and golden on the outside, and every time we finish one, I have a hard time throwing the container away because it could be turned into something. Realistically, though, I wouldn't have the time to treat all of them, and what would I do with a pile of altered pate cans? So - no, I don't hoard them.

Recently I've turned one into a pretty gift package - painted it with gesso and acrylics and created a lid out of cardstock.

The lid is covered with semi-glossy paper dyed with shaving cream and food coloring. The snowflake is slightly 3D from home-made puffy paint (shaving cream again, plus while glue).
