Tart Tin Photo Ornament

I went to a yard sale a few months ago that was being held by a couple who own a German restaurant here in my town. I bought a stack of mini tart tins, some of which still had stickers on the back that said, "Made in Germany."  A few different projects ran through my head of what to do with them. And then, all of a sudden, Christmas was approaching so I decided they'd make perfect photo ornaments. 

I started by using my metal punch to add 2 holes to the tart tin. This type of punch is made for punching holes in metal and is used on things like bottle caps.

 I threaded twine through the holes and tied a knot. I tied the knot to the inside of the tin so it will be hidden when I add the embellishments.

I printed out one of my favorite photos of my parents...

To know where to cut, I rubbed the edge of a pencil along the rim of the inner raised section of the tin. Then I laid the photo down and rubbed the photo to transfer the pencil marks onto the back of the photo.

Then I cut along the pencil marks...

I added tacky glue to the flat inner section of the tart tin and added the photo...

I added more tacky glue to the tin and added a row of wireless chenille around the photo...

I added a little more tacky glue and a second row of the chenille...

I finished it off with a paper flower to cover the knot...

I think this will be a favorite for many years to come!
