DIY Cinnamon Rolls in a Tin Coloring Set

Create your own sweet little cinnamon roll tin! This DIY coloring set includes a layered round tin, removable cinnamon rolls, icing, and a personalized lid design. Color or paint the details, decorate the icing, and place the cinnamon rolls inside. Perfect for kids’ crafts, gifts, and bakery-themed projects.

Instructions:

1. Color the pieces first.
   After cutting, color or paint the lid, base piece, cinnamon rolls, icing pieces, and tab handle before assembly, if desired. It is usually easier to color the engraved and scored details before the layers are glued together.

2. Build the tin frame.
   Glue or adhere the thicker frame layer(s) on top of the base piece. Two frame layers are included, but you may cut more or fewer depending on your material thickness and how much space you want inside the tin.

3. Add the lid insert layer.
   Once the frame layers are dry, glue or adhere the thinner frame layer on top of the tin frame. This thinner layer creates the inset area where the lid will sit.

4. Attach the tab handle.
   Glue or adhere the tab handle to the lid, using the score lines on the lid as a placement guide.

5. Color and decorate the cinnamon rolls.
   Color or paint the cinnamon rolls and icing pieces with paint markers, acrylic paint, or your preferred coloring supplies.

6. Place the cinnamon rolls inside.
   Add the finished cinnamon rolls to the tin, then place the lid into the inset frame. Use the tab to lift the lid and reveal the cinnamon rolls inside.
