Altered metal tins
Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Other

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Romantic, Retro / Vintage


Materials

Metal tins, Ranger alcohol dies, different floss and some Tim Holtz accessories.

What was your inspiration?

I love altering different things I have around my home and I love Tim Holtz designs. I wanted to see how Ranger Alcohol Dye Inks would take to metal tins using multiple colors to tint the tins

What are you most proud of?

I think they came out really cute...love them.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Use three to four different colored alcohol inks using a blending tool. I used mixative gold also....be prepared to get a little ink on your fingers!

I also used some of Tim Holtz clear stamps to stamp on the papers that I glued using Glossy Accents which holds very well.
