Absolutely beautiful! 🦋🌞

[@MargareteMiller]

Thank you so much! 💙

[@suelutz5364]

Very nice!

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Great results!

[@MargareteMiller]

Thank you!

[@peggylindenthaler6169]

That large box you could even use to hold tea!

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

Thank you for this excellent video! I admire your aesthetic taste- not too much ornamentation, not too little. In other words, very elegant!😊

[@MargareteMiller]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😉👍🏻💜

[@peggylindenthaler6169]

I just LOVE what you've done with that 3x5 card box. What a neat gift box something like that would make! then the box could be saved. You are sooo creative!

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks so much! I'm sure I got the idea from other creatives before me 🙂❣️👍🏻

[@katherinehawkes]

Wonderful little boxes! They turned out just lovely! Thank you so much for sharing. Be especially blessed. ❤️

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks so much, Katherine! 💙

[@caroltanzi29]

Margarete: Beautifully done. All three are really good looking. Carol from California

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks, Carol! I appreciate your kind words. 💜

[@flormorena3778]

Absolutely adorable ideas. 😊

[@MargareteMiller]

Thank you! 😊

[@DandelionCottageDesign]

I would sand the tins first. Very cute!

[@MargareteMiller]

Yep. Good idea 👍🏻. I'll do that next time.

[@sharonabbey5432]

I would at least sand it a little.

[@jandt2344]

Fun ideas! Yours came out great. I am searching for tins around the house now!

[@MargareteMiller]

Have fun! I hope you'll find some to decorate 💜

[@peggylindenthaler6169]

Thanks for the link to that shop that has the papers. Some really beautiful stuff!

[@valeriejoyc]

Great job, some good ideas. I was also thinking mod podge. I'm thinking of covering larger boxes and using them as gifts for friends

[@MargareteMiller]

Great idea. I know I'd love a little gifted tin. 💜👍🏻😉

[@BigGrannydb]

Love all of your choices - and the end results! Spectacular!

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks so much! 💜

[@ankiradesign7720]

I always sand the surface of the tins I collage on … just enough to knock back the glossy finish. The paper adheres and cannot be peeled off

[@MargareteMiller]

Great tip. Thanks you 👍🏼

[@randigolub4778]

Thanks for another great video! I love to decoupage tins and I found that scuffing up the surface of the tin with a sanding block can help the paper stick better. I also apply glue to both the paper and the tin. I use Mod Podge but am looking forward to trying the brands you tested in the video.

[@MargareteMiller]

When I was finishing up, I started thinking, "I should have sanded the surface a bit". Next time 😉

[@elainet5870]

These look great! I especially like the butterfly. I like working with little tins. I was wondering if a little sanding would have helped. Also have you ever tried Fabric Tac or one of those similar glues? I’m thinking of trying that next. I’ve used Mod Podge, which works well, but can be a bit sticky. Thanks for sharing. 😃❤️

[@MargareteMiller]

I forgot to sand. I’ll do that next time. 😉

[@jeanbeck3962]

Very similar to decopage. I've done it on tins and cardboard boxes, using modpoge. I love how these tins looked when finished. I have a recipe tin like yours. Full of recipes of course. It's plain green also. Now I'm thinking of covering it. Thank you for such fun ideas.

[@MargareteMiller]

Neat!! If you collage and use it as a recipe tin, you might think of putting a coat of md podge over the top, just so the paper doesn't stain or get dirty while in the kitchen. 😉👍🏻💜

[@artcuriousbymnw]

Very nice boxes Margaret ❤️ try sand the tins so they have tooth for the glu😊e

[@MargareteMiller]

Yep, I will definitely do that next time. 👍🏼

[@juliehowe3431]

Hello Margaret…will you be coming out with your collage book 2024? Maybe you already said something and I missed it. I would love to know. I have loved every collage page over the last three years and have enjoyed putting them together each and every week. Thanks…Julie

[@MargareteMiller]

Yes, they'll be out soon!

[@cherylbell4057]

Another fascinating and helpful video. Thank you for sharing. Do you have any suggestions for smoothing out the embossed letters on Altoids tin?🤔

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks, Cheryl. 💜 I'd avoid using a tin with embossed letters. I don't think there's a good way to make them flat, unfortunately.

[@cherylbell4057]

@@MargareteMiller I suspected that the raised letters would be a near impossible fix. Thank you for your input. I’m looking forward to your next video. Have a nice day.

[@suerabe5708]

I love these. For some reason I’m not seeing the link for the butterflies.

[@MargareteMiller]

It’s the same link as for the Florentine papers. 💜

[@cynthiahogue7724]

I love them all! How about putting a light coat of matte spray sealer on? Would it make the paper buckle?

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks, Cynthia. I don't think it needs a sealer for my needs. You certainly could put a coat on, especially if you already have it at home.

[@janhulse9518]

why not mod podge?

[@MargareteMiller]

I don't own Mod Podge. Try it and let me know how it worked 😉👍🏻💙

[@lole-21ruff63]

😊Nice job . I agree with You . The trophy looks better than the arm. See You..

[@MargareteMiller]

Oh good. Thanks for the vote of support. 😉👍🏻💜

[@SherryRector]

Neither. It hides the paper too much. just keep the strip and stamps.

[@sandradowkes481]

The hand would have worked better going from the bottom left up.

[@MargareteMiller]

Yep. Good idea. I’ve still got it. I’ll use it in another project for sure 😉👍🏼💙
