DIY Altered Tin Tutorial

Katar — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 17:00:44 +0000

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

Side of 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.

Spray Paint with Primer

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?

DIY Ring Bearer Pillow Tutorials

Katar — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:00:15 +0000

By now, everyone should know how I feel about overpriced stuff that can be easily made on your own.

Making your own ring bearer pillows will be so much more personalized than buying a mass-produced one. It will be a lot cheaper too! You want your wedding to be original, right?

Lucky for me, I have two ring bearers, so I get to make two! Yay!

Here are some great tutorials that I’ve come across in my search for making my own. When I get around to making my own, I will be sure to post my tutorial and plenty of photos! For now, just click on the photos below to go to a tutorial that interests you.
