Shabby Chic Tin Tutorial by Blog Coordinator Aditi

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all doing good and looking forward to the weekend! Today I'm back with a pictorial tutorial for you all. I have altered a metal tin in a shabby chic style. With simple elements, it's a decorative tin, that can be used as a pen stand, or organiser.

Here's a look at it:

Let's begin the tutorial:

Step 1: Here's a look at the tin first. It's metal and white in colour. 

Step 2: First, give the entire tin a coat of the Folkart Home Decor Chalk Paint. I have given it two coats for a thicker finish,

Step 3: Next, give it a coat of Prima Marketing Chalkboard Paint. This third coat is a darker contrasting colour.

Step 4: Using sandpaper, scrub the entire surface. This will give us a shabby look. 

Step 5: Pick a tissue paper and fussy cut elements to decorate the tin.

Step 6: Ensure to remove the two layers of the tissue paper before adhering it. 

Step 7: Use mod podge and stick down these on the tin randomly.

Step 8: Use some stamps and Black ink and randomly stamp.

Step 9: Pick elements/embellishments to decorate the tin. I have used jute cord, lace, flowers, a metal butterfly (painted using the two paints used above).

Step 10: Glue everything together and your tin is ready,
