I love Mexican art! I always have. When I was a kid my parents would go to Mexico and bring back all kinds of fantastic treasures. Once they brought back these super scary tapped tin masks with marble eyes....I loved them! Years later when I was shopping for art supplies at the hardware store, I scored a roll of aluminum flashing (they use it for roofing) and immediately thought of the tapped tin projects I could make. Make sure to cut the tin with serrated edge scissors or tin shears so that it's not sharp to the touch! I framed loteria images, but you could use anything! Make them in different sizes Make sure to add sequins and glitter, too! Watch the short video tutorial here Watch my 2018 updated version!
