Yuletide Tin Box Ornaments
These sweet Yuletide Tin Box Ornaments have a vintage feeling of Christmas past. A gorgeous keepsake to give for any one you adore! They are beautiful on the Christmas tree, hung on packages and tied with a bow! Or make a set and hang on greenery above the fireplace. I promise you can’t make just one!

Love everything so far! Hugs Marilou

You take something as “blah” as a little metal tin and make it into something sweet and beautiful…you have magic fingers Nancy. Whatever you touch turns to beauty — and these are no exception!
On the sixth day of christmas my true love gave to me… six sparkling tins…These are oh so wonderful Nancy!
Absolutely D.vine! I love them all…..can’t wait to try my hand at one.
Oh my! These are lovely!!! I need to get caught up on all the days I missed… stupid cold!
I have some bigger tins… love the tinsel and tags on these!
Love these!!! Do I always say that? :-) But it’s true!!!!!
These are just fabulous!!!
I have several small tin boxes and never did anything with them. Now you have explained how to start with the gesso and the acrylic paint i will certainly use them. And the finished decoration is just adorable.
Nancy, these are great! I’ll be making one of these – I have those tins waiting for an idea. Thanks for the Christmas inspiration and spirit.
I love these!
Would have never thought to use a tin this way! What a wonderful idea, luv your latest creation!
