Tins All Trimmed - Quick Gift Projects


What You Need: 
  • Round white tin for snowman tin (ours is 6-1/2 inches in diameter and 5 inches tall)
  • Black buttons
  • Hot-glue gun and glue
  • Red paint pen
  • 17 inches of 2-inch-wide orange felt
  • 36 inches of 2-inch-wide baby blue felt
  • Scissors
Instructions: 1. Hot-glue black buttons to the top of the lid to create the eyes and mouth.
2. Cut a carrot shape from orange felt, and add detail using a red paint pen; glue to tin as the nose. Wrap baby blue felt and tie in a knot around the front of the tin as a scarf.
3. For stripes, cut fifteen 1/2-inch orange strips from orange felt. Hot-glue orange strips 1 inch apart onto the tied scarf. For scarf ends, cut two 2-1/2-inch lengths of orange felt. Hot-glue one piece to each end of scarf, then cut 2-inch splices every 1/4 inch to create a fringed look.
4. For the rectangular tin, use a pencil to draw a grid of 1-inch to 1-1/2-inch squares on the surface. Paint squares using a checkerboard design and your choice of glossy latex paints. When dry, add stars using a white paint pen.
