Embossed Tin PLanters

Embossed Tin Planters


Add a dash of tin to your pottery collection! You can get very elaborate with embossed tin like my friend, Michele (the Artsy Gringa!) does. This is just a simple 101, super-fast method to make your planters pop.

Supplies:

Flower pot
Paints
Varnish
Embossing tin (I actually cut out the inside of disposable cookie sheet)
Ballpoint pen or embossing stylus
Magazine
Liquid Fusion adhesive

Base coat the pots with Crafty Chica paints, let dry, and then coat with Glossy Gloss Varnish.

Next, cut tin into strips that will fit the width of the border of the pot and reach all the way around it. Place the strip on top of the magazine and draw your designs using the pen. Use the Liquid Fusion to affix the strips to the border of the pot.

Peace, love, and glitter!
