How to Make Unique Vintage Tart Tin Christmas Ornaments from Thrift Store Finds

After years of hoarding collecting vintage goodies I had a whole drawer full of all different shapes and sizes of tart tins.  Every couple of years I pull them out and make these vintage tart tin Christmas ornaments.  I use whatever I have on hand so each time they look a little different.

Supplies for vintage tart tin Christmas ornaments:

  • vintage tart tins
  • vintage keys

  • vintage dictionary pages
  • snow writer (DecoArt supplied this product for me but the ideas and opinions are my own.)
  • pine chenille stem ( I found these at Hobby Lobby but I didn’t see them online.)
  • tiny bottle brush Christmas trees
  • hot glue gun
  • circle paper punch
  • wire ornament hooks
  • metal hole punch (I use my Euro tool power punch pliers)

Each ornament is always unique but I usually start with vintage text as the background.  I ink the edges to age them even more, punch a hole at the top, and then start gluing.

I trimmed the back of the tiny bottle brush tree to get it to lay flatter.

I even used a few leftover beads on this next one.  I was having trouble squeezing out the snow so I just painted it on with a little paintbrush.
