How to Make a Vintage Tart Tin Wreath – 3 Easy Steps

STEP 1:

Begin by deciding if you want your tin’s face up, face down, or a mix.

Use masking tape to tape the pipe cleaners to your tins. Tape is not permanent, but it will hold and won’t damage most tins. It may leave a sticky residue, but you can clean that up with Goo Gone if you ever decide to reuse them later. I also used hot glue to glue the smaller, round tins to the center of my stars. Again, not permanent, but not damaging either. Photos below…

Use masking tape to tape pipe cleaners to each tin. This will not damage the tins but it is not a as permanent as using a silicone adhesive that would leave gobs of glue on tins that is not easily removed.
