Mexico is home to so many talented metal artists who create amazing embossed metal art, works out of tin, and some stunning jewelry too. In honor of the upcoming cinco de mayo, I thought I’d share a Mexican inspired project with you today.
I will show you how you can easily make beautiful Tin-Like Stars using aluminium embossing foil.
I know that some of you are not interested in using metal for crafting. No worries. These same steps can be used to create these stars using metallic paper or a thin piece of cardboard from a cereal box that you can spray paint.
Note: If you are using paper or cardboard, the score lines shown in these pictures are just fold lines. There is no need to score a line – just fold.
Thanks for stopping by!
These were fun to make and they look great. Add a string to hang them, attach them to a board and frame, or just display like I did.
If you enjoyed this project, we’d appreciate if you’d pin it. Thanks for sharing!

Hydroponics — growing plants in nutrient-rich water without soil — sounds technical but modern starter kits make it simpler than container gardening. No soil, no weeds, faster growth, and a year-round herb supply on

Most Australian and US snakes do their job — keep rodents in check, mind their own business — but for properties with kids, dogs or chooks, reducing snake activity around the immediate yard makes sense. Repellents ha

Australian gardens don’t typically have deer (kangaroos do similar damage in some areas), but deer pressure on US and parts-of-NZ gardens is brutal. A small herd will eat a hundred dollars of new ornamental plantings ove
