Why I love this craft
If you’ve spent any amount of time here, then you know how much I enjoy crafting with the tin tile sheets from Dollar Tree. They are super easy to work with and very versatile when it comes to making different types of crafts. For this particular craft, it is used to add a unique look to a Christmas tree form.
Why do I peel the adhesive from the back of the tin tile?
With the tin tile sheets from Dollar Tree, the backing is only secured in the corners. So once you get to cutting, the backing will come off anyways. To save a step, I go ahead and remove the backing to reveal just the tile sheet.
The inspiration for this craft:
Some of my favorite Christmas crafts, like these DIY Tin Tile Ornaments, were made using the tin tile sheets from Dollar Tree. You can cut them into any form and paint them to match any decor style of your choice.

Make a stem with sticks from outside or birch log pieces from Hobby Lobby. Paint a small wooden star with the gold rub n' buff and attach it to the top.
Use a wooden dice cube attached to the back to create a stand.
Then, use mostly tacky glue and a bit of hot glue on the tin tile and attach it to the wood tree cutout.
