Tin embossing looks intricate and complex, but it's so easy! Here's a tutorial...

Tin embossing will be your new favorite hobby.

Brittany Jepsen calls tin embossing low effort, high-reward. It's the craft technique that involves pushing and pulling a thin metal sheet to create decorated designs, and it's one of Brittany's absolute favorite hobbies. Brittany shared some examples that make beautiful Mother's Day ornaments to gift sisters, friends or your own mom.

Tin Embossing Step-by-Step

1. Print your template and tape it to your metal sheet (aluminum flashing or craft foil works beautifully).
2. Trace the design using a stylus or even a ballpoint pen.
3. Place your metal on a soft surface (like felt or a mousepad), then begin pressing into the lines to create dimension.
4. Flip it over occasionally to refine details and add depth.
5. Cut out your shape, if needed, and finish with ribbon or backing for cards.
