embossed tin ornaments! made from recycled takeout embossed tin ornaments! made from recycled takeout containers!!

cut the sides to flatten, and then smooth out the texture with a plastic tool or rag (i used a butter spreader and it was perfect)

use a soft surface so you don’t scratch up your table (a sketchbook was perfect) draw your design right onto the tin (you can erase by re-smoothing but the more you do it, the more it’ll get dented up) you can sketch it out with pencil first, or trace right on top. i used an embossing tool but you can also just use a ballpoint pen!

once you’re happy, cut out with scissors, punch a hole and add ribbon! would look so cute with some beads to embellish but i couldn’t find any!

use as ornaments, or decoration around the house, or super special gift tags!! or a whole garland of these on your mantle would look sooo cute!

ps you could also use grocery store lasagna pans or whatever they’re called

should i have made templates for designs? would you guys prefer that?!

if you want the links for my supplies, comment MAKE and i’ll send em straight to ya

snowflake clay ornaments! these are SO simple to snowflake clay ornaments! 
these are SO simple to make and so so cute!

make balls out of your oven bake (or air dry) clay and roll out. poke large holes all around the diameter of your circle and then bake.

use a thick needle and embroidery floss to go across each direction overlapping. 

add a string to hang (i added a little wood bead for some flair)

if you want the supplies sent straight to your dms— comment MAKE ❤️

diy brass leaf twinkle light garland!? OK i need a diy brass leaf twinkle light garland!? OK i need a better name for this one 🙃 we have so so many twinkly lights hanging around so i thought it would be cute to add some brass leaves for our mantle!

the whole time it was making this I was wondering if it was a fail though hahah man i’m so hard on myself. so what do we think of this one!? it’s easy enough to make while you watch movies and you know that’s all i care about!!!

if you want the supplies (and/or links for the other stuff on my mantle) sent straight to your inbox, comment MAKE

after a long weekend of potty training i’m feeling after a long weekend of potty training i’m feeling thankful for everything else in life besides this! some recent moments that brought me joy!
ok new fave holiday hobby unlocked — this is way b ok new fave holiday hobby unlocked — this is way better than potty training. now what else should i draw!!!???

my pinterest is full of embossed tin ornament crafts and i’ve been hoarding tomato paste tubes and takeout containers for a month

i’ll do a proper diy tutorial but all i did was flatten metal takeout containers with a butter spreader, then draw designs with an etching tool (but a ballpoint pen will also work fine!) 

punched a hole and added a ribbon! haven’t figured out if there’s a way to dull the edges but they’re not too sharp as long as they’re rounded!
for all the parents of kids who collect every rock for all the parents of kids who collect every rock, seashell, twig, piece of gravel they see — make these sweet ornaments  with their treasures — perfectly easy craft for kids to do themselves too 🤍

— i used oven bake @sculpey_official, roll into a ball and smoosh down
— just gently press the shells or rocks in to the clay
— add a tiny wire U to the top to hang
— bake according to package directions 
— i used some elastic string to hang easily
