Teeny Tiny Tin Blog Hop

This challenge was so much fun because it was different.  I got the little tins, and planned about 300 different things I was going to do with them.  I was going to distress them.  I was going to do a bead embroidery.  I was going to try something polymer.  I was going to make a tiny little painting.  I was going to make quilled flowers.

And then it hit me, I wanted to use fabric, with a little beadwork thrown in to keep it close to my passion.  One came out very country vintage old newspaper cool.  The other came out with gold lame and a painted-by-me pink lace flower.  I used ribbon.  I used a touch of bling-y thread.  I used a giant @.  Enjoy!

These are so cute!! Love them! I'd have loved to participate in this hop, it looks like it was fun.

Michelle Mach said...

I love that you did both tins and they're so different! I find pink very challenging, so I always admire those who can pull it off. Very sweet!

Your "hundreds of ideas" comment was right on. That's exactly how I felt, too. Thanks for joining the challenge!

These are just gorgeous! I love them both so much but that pink & gold together really goes great!

What adorable tins you have created! I absolutely love anything old and vintage-y, and your newspaper tin is wonderful! I can certainly relate to the list of ideas you went through before you decided on your designs - I think I spent 2 weeks going through designs in my head before I actually started working on them! Beautiful job! :) Molly
