Tart Tin Tutorial




Here is a fun and easy little project.
It is a tart tin turned into a note holder or place card holder.
supplies you'll need:
tart tin (I used the tiny ones)
hammer
wire (20-24 gauge works) about 6"
awl or nail to make hole
glue gun
wire snips
pliers
and something to set tart tin on to punch hole
(I used an old paint bottle, fit perfect)

1. lay tart tin on top of bottle,
using awl or nail, punch two holes in top 1/4 to 1/2" apart.

2. cut a 6" piece of wire.
holding in one hand,
use other hand to bend wire into a circle.
(You could also just fine a 1" dowel or ? and bend it around it.)
This is the shape you should end up with.
(you could play with this and make hearts etc)

3. Push wire into top of holes in tin.
4. Turn tin over and pull wires through enough
to bend ends over about 1/2" toward each other.


then pull out from front till bent wires are flat on back.


5. Hot glue wires in place.

Turn it over and fill with whatever name, scripture,
or inspiring word you want.



These are really quick and easy and fun.

Let me see some if you do them!!

blessings on your day
