This cute card says it all...
I "borrowed" these ideas...lol!
Pinterest Inspired Christmas Tin Arrangements
Repurposed cannisters from Kaytee Jane's House
The moment I saw these candle arrangments on Pinterest I knew I would have to make something similar. Of course, when I want to use vintage tins and cannisters...they are either impossible to find or too expensive outside of yardsale season. Kaytee Jane also used the vintage candle lights for hers...mine were from Walmart. I just love her cute blog...I just became a follower. I think you will love it too. When I get done posting, I am going to go back and look at more of her fun projects.
Cute Little Elf in a Flour Sifter.
The first one I made.
The candle was a battery powered one.
They were white...so I painted them all cream.
Larger Bucket/Tins...Hobby Lobby 2012 Clearance.
Larger plug-in lights.
I found that the small wreaths in Hobby Lobby's miniatures section were just right to use for these arrangements. I wish I had bought more. George drilled me a few holes around the top edge so that I could wire the wreaths to the buckets Vintage Elf and Deer...mix of new and vintage doodads.
Deer Arrangement for My Front Hall.
I decoupaged the tin years ago...I'm glad I kept it.
A little winter scene in a nicely rusty coffee can.
Cute Vintage Kitchen Tin...red and green graphics.
This is for daughter Missy.
Elf, Cookie Cutter, Cupcake and a Vintage Rudolph (not seen)
Darling Tins from Michaels.
Used some old Victorian Santas to match.
For my DILs
Cool Muffin Tin From "A Vintage Chic!"
I first saw this on Pinterest...tho' I am a Faithful Follower!
This wonderful muffin tin is from Julie Campbell of A Vintage Chic.
Julie has instructions on how she made it. She also has a cool Halloween version here: halloween Tin
My Muffin Tin...
It took me almost a year to find the perfect grungy muffin tin.
I like the 8 muffin configuration with the hole at the top/bottom.
For this I used images with a more "antique" feel for my Cozy Country Cabin Christmas theme... alliteration is fun!!
Another smaller vintage Santa head and a few rosettes from Christmas sheet music.
Back to the Workshop!
A Few Cute Cards I've Found Recently...Enjoy!

WOW!!!! I would love to do this, can you tell us how you put the light in so it would work? Did you drill a hole through the back? Shirley, you amaze me! I have a sifter similar I would love to try this...hopefully this year....any chance of a tutorial??? You are a crafting queen! lol

Ooh, I just love those tins! So glad you shared them!
Hi Shirley, OMG!! I am in love!! I have a set of those kitchen tins with the red plastic and white letters. I have them on ebay for sale. If they don't sell, I will grab them back lol!
I am loving all of the awesome items you make. I put my Santa mug tree and stocking tree on the mantle in the sitting room today! I think of you each Christmas when I put them out. The gingerbread house you made me is on a shelf in the kitchen! Such a sweet friend, maybe one day we can meet in real life! Hugs!

Hi Shirley. Your candle holders look great. What a great idea. I found some of those Santa heads this summer, not sure what to do with them. Thank you for sharing such great ideas and images.

Thanks for sharing the Christmas tin idea - I just went and checked her blog out and started following! They're just so cute!
Love the cards you found too!
L-O-V-E the tin idea!!! Just too darling! I have some tins that aren't selling...if I do something like that, I bet they would! Thanks for sharing!

That sifter with elf is genius! I might just have to copy it! I found a vintage sifter with the 59c purple stamped price on it at the thrift store and it came home about a year ago. There is an adorable 'food' vignette in our kitchen made of Dept. 56 houses and various food cans and boxes, must find a way to incorporate the sifter in!
An arrangement with a little pixie gets me excited. I love the flour sifter and vintage containers. You've got my mind spinning tonight! What great ideas! Sweet hugs and happy holiday crafting!
You dud a fantastic job! I am going to make some too! Thanks for such great ideas! Maggie
These are all so sweet and inspiring! Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to start Christmas crafting! xo Heather
Well, each picture was just cuter and cuter! Now I'm looking around my room...lets see, I have a few vintage Mint Tins! That will work!
Thank you for the great post full of ideas, Shirley!

Oh you've been busy! What cute creations! I love how we can see an idea but then add our own touch to make it ours.
I haven't officially started decorating for Christmas yet but somehow, the little pixie elf you gave me ended up in my hutch! He's sneaky!
Thanks again from the bottom, middle and top of my heart for sending him to me. ♥
