Tin Pockets


     Tin art is always a fun thing to do. You do have to be careful so you don't cut yourself on the sharp edges. If you are a young person making this project we'd suggest getting some adult supervision to help make it. These pockets make great gifts and look really nice hanging around the house.

Here's what you'll need:

  • Tin panels. You can get them at most craft stores.
  • 4" X 4" stiff cardboard.
  • Colored wire about 24 gage.
  • Decorations for your project.
Cut the tin panel into fourths.
Using one fourth, place the cardboard kiddy corner as a folding guide.

Fold three of the corners up and over the cardboard.
Punch a hole in the middle, where the two corners come together, using a push pin.
Tie them together with a piece of wire.
You can also use these holes to run wire through when you tie your decorations on. We used sea shell beads.
We coiled some of the wire around a pencil to give it some nice curley Q's.
Punch a hole near the top and run a wire through the hole to make a hanger. Loop the wire and wrap it around its self several times to make a solid hanger.
You can put all kinds of things in your pockets to make them very pretty.

Use the extra material to make more and give them away as presents.

We hope you liked this project. If you build it and your friends ask where you got such a clever idea, please tell them that you got it at RunnerDuck.com.
