I love tart tins. They come in all shapes and there are so many ways to use them to add vintage charm to your space.

For this DIY, I’m using a grapevine wreath from Walmart and vintage tins I’ve collected on different trips to antique shops and thrift stores. I’ll show you how to assemble a beautiful wreath without drilling or harming these lovely tins.

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

STEP 1:

Begin by deciding if you want your tins 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 you want to repurpose your tins in the future for another use. I also used hot glue to glue smaller, round tins to the center of my stars. Again not permanent but also not damaging. 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.

To put two tins together you can use hot glue but it will not be permanent. Silicone adhesive would be more permanent but would stick to the tin in gobs and be difficult to remove.

A more permanent option would be to use Silicone Adhesive. This will leave a glob of glue on each tin that cannot be removed easily, but it is a much more permanent solution. I used a little tape to hold the pipe cleaner in place until the glue set up. Allow the silicone adhesive to set up overnight before going to step 2.

Use silicone adhesive if you want a more permanent hold to the chenille ties used to make a tart tin wreath. I used hot glue which peels off the vintage tart tins easily as not to damage them.

STEP 2:

Attach tins to the grapevine wreath by pushing the ends of the fuzzy sticks through the Grapevine wreath and twisting to tie at the back of the wreath.

STEP 3:

Decorate by hot gluing dried floral picks and preserved moss to finish your wreath.
