The Shabby Chic Dollhouse: "Tin" Tiles

I got my "tin tiles" done today.  Some of these are in the fireplace of the inspiration cottage: "A Tiny Victorian Cottage".
I started with a sturdy cardboard and made a simple design with hot glue.
I painted all of it with thick white paint.



Then I added a touch of silver paint here and there..

I did the same hot glue treatment on the fireplace. Just a few lines and dots. Then, I crackled the fireplace. It really looks shabby chic now!

    Wow, that is all I can say. Well not really, I think your idea for the tin tiles is fantastic, the cottage is looking absolutely fabulous so far, and it is the perfect subject for minis isn't it!!

    What a great idea! How did you stick it to the wall?

      Hi Deb! I just used a tiny bit more hot glue. You can also use an all purpose glue.
