Every year I buy these Mexican tin ornaments, hang them on my tree, and then use them as gift tags for Christmas day. I love them so much that I use them all year round in different forms. For example, for this project, I simply snipped off the hang tag from the top and glued the ornament to a chopstick. Hello! Instant plant poke!Other ideas:
- Hang several from string to make a banner.
- Use them on a cake
- Use as the focal point for a shadow box, or a collections of boxes!
- Glue on the top of a gift box.
- Glue together in a circle, add a base for a fun candle lantern.
- Affix to the front of a greeting card.
- Use a paint pen to use as a gift tag (that's what I do).
Peace, love, and glitter!

MY favorites! They are a huge influence on my own tin work. I use them for so many things just as you do and will be linking in May - (this month!). I just wish I could get the brilliant colors they do in Mexico. Yhe colors delight my eyes!
ReplyDeleteI love these too.... and am wondering if there's a way to use aluminum cans (the plain, silver, inside surface) to finagle something like this....
