All Thumbs Crafts: More Tinfoil Painting

Friday, May 13, 2011

I had so much fun with my tinfoil wreath that I've been trying this technique on other things.

Here's my bird house...though it's a little plain in front, and I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to add to it.

I love the texture!

Looks like crackle paint, doesn't it? And it's soooo much cheaper!

I think the trick in making it look aged and crackled is using the Ranger Heat It Craft Tool; when I use it, it makes more of a crackle texture.

Here's a little wall hanging I did using the tinfoil paint technique over a piece of cardboard from a pasta package. Then I painted some corrugated cardboard and glued the two together.

It looks pretty neat. I have to go read your other post, i am not so sure what this tin foil painting is. It sure looks interesting.

Love that birdhouse! I love the contrast between the foil painted parts and the front of the house. That wall hanging is super cute too
