I know a great many of us are addicted to old tins.
Whenever I can creatively decorate with one, it's a treat.
When I bought this tin, I pictured it with a bottle brush tree in it.
Well I couldn't just leave it at that.
Playing with vintage elements is so much fun, and so rewarding to give new life to old treasures. Probably my favorite part is the flower that basically created itself.
Can mercury glass balls, antique metalized tinsel garland,
lacquered holly, and old light reflectors ever be a bad thing?
I think not!
Just for fun, I accentuated some corroded spots
with bronze mica, for a little extra zing...

This Christmas flower is so simple, but with so much instant impact!
It's the teensiest of tart tins, with a pipecleaner stem of green mercury beads
hot-glued to it, then backed with the inner layer of a double light reflector.
Wish I had a bunch more of these tiny tins!
Oh look, more flowers are growing...;-)
Metallic flowers growing in metal grass on a metal dirt mound.
Looks like something from the Jetsons....
