Why I love this craft.
Pizza pans, faux tin tiles, and paint sticks… yes, please! I love this craft because it’s simple to make, yet ends with a beautiful piece of decor that is perfect to decorate for the holidays.
Traditional Spray Primer vs. Rustoleum Chalk Paint
Years ago, I would gravitate toward using an actual primer spray or paint as a basecoat on certain materials. Fast forward to now and you’ll notice that I often use Rustoleum chalk paint as my primer.
In total honesty, you can use either. For me, it often depends on the weather and if I can go outside to spray paint. If cost is a factor, chalk paint is the way to go. Buy one can, and it will last for months (or years).
The inspiration for this craft:
I’ve had lots of inspiration for this craft, but the one I really like is this Dollar Store Faux Tin Tile Snowman Craft. It shows how easy it is to work with the faux tin tiles and how you can transform them into just about anything.
