MATERIALS

My replica of an Altoids tin completed
Paper clip
Soldering kit
scisors

First the paper clip and tin need to be "modified"
Use pliers to stretch out the paper clip.
The use scissors to cut of the side marked in the picture.
Also drill a hole where the little image note tell you.

To put the hinge on, cut the paper clip a few millimeters more than the side you cut off.
The put it through the 2 holes you drilled.
Now solder on the lid tho the paper clip ends.
