DIY Knitting Patterns and Tutorials

Knitting is one of the crafts I’ve been meaning to learn forever. Years ago, I received a ‘how to’ knitting book with all the supplies needed for beginners. I must have looked over the book and tried to knit a bunch of different ways for over a week – but just couldn’t get anywhere! I’m thinking about going to a class at Jo-Ann’s – hopefully they can teach me! In the mean time, here are some free patterns and tutorials for those who can knit.

DIY Altered Tin Tutorial

I got this crappy tin from a ‘free box’ at a garage sale during the summer. The paint was rubbing off and I hated the design, but I knew I could do something awesome with it.

Earlier, I wrote a post titled Tins, Cans, and Aluminum Metal: What Can I Do With It? - which will give you TONS more ideas for altering tins. This post is just about what I did with mine!

Bless Our Country Home Tin

Let’s revamp this sucker!

Materials:

  • Crappy Tin
  • Sandpaper
  • Primer Spray Paint
  • Color of your Choice Spray Paint
  • Images/stuff to Mod Podge to your tin
  • Scissors
  • Mod Podge and Brush

Instructions:

Step 1: Sand the tin all over with your sandpaper, so that the paint will stick to it better.

Step 2: Lay out a big piece of cardboard that you can use to spray paint on outside. Then, place the tin FACE DOWN without the lid. The lid should be placed on top of the bottom part of the tin. (I hope that made sense!) This way, you can spray paint everything at once, without getting the bottom part of the tin painted on. Spray paint with your primer to cover up the design.

Step 3: After the primer has dried, take your colored spray paint and spray paint it the same way you did with the primer. Let it dry.

Step 4: Pick out clip art or anything else you’d like to Mod Podge to the tin. I used black lace around the tin and a big skull with tiny umbrellas for the top. Cut all of these things out and place them on your tin to get an idea of where you’d like to place everything. The umbrellas took SO LONG to cut out!

Step 5: Using spray adhesive, spray the backs of the objects to be placed onto the tin, and then place them. Doing this keeps the clip art in place while you Mod Podge.

Step 6: Mod Podge the tin and let it dry. All done! Easy, right?

I made this tin specifically for DIYscene’s Black and Metal October swap -my swap partner loved it!
