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)
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.
I really like these!
ReplyDeleteThose are too clever Barb. I'll definitely be trying those.

ReplyDeleteHi Barbara Jean ..I just found a stack of tart tins in my craft room yesterday and wondered why I was saving them .. I can't wait to make some card holders ..I think I will also spray paint a few for one of my garden parties ..maybe yellow since they look like flowers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial.

ReplyDeleteBonjour de France, Miette
I love your tutorials!! I have had a hard time finding the wire ~ I got bailing wire at the hardware store but it leaves my hands super dirty ~
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get yours ?
These are so creative! Have boxes or tart tins, gives me a great idea.
