Painted Pie Tins
Painted Pie Tins
From: Maureen Schneeberger

>Alright..here comes an easy and inexpensive one. One of the most
>requested things I make for gifts is a painted pie tin. I get pie tins
>from garage sales, thrift stores, etc. I suppose you could use the
>aluminum throw away kind, but I've never tried it.
>
>Materials:
>
>pie tin
>paint-white and your choice of colors
>gingerbread man and angel cookie cutter
>paper bag
>pencil
>sealer
>
>First I just paint the entire tin with white paint..then I sponge paint
>it to match the person's decor. Next I trace the cookie cutters onto the
>paper bag and cut out. I make enough gingerbread men to match the men in
>the household and the same for the angels for the girls. Then, onto the
>INSIDE of the tin, I trace around the cutouts making them an equal
>distance from each other. They will be up on the tilted edge of the
>tin..feet pointing torwards outer lip. Paint the gingerbread brown and
>the angels face and hands (and feet if showing) brown. Paint the area
>for the angels dress white. Make these very simple..don't over do..just
>little black dots for eyes..black dots on top of head for hair on
>angels. Paint (or use a fine tip marker) the names of each famiy member
>on their corresponding man/angel. In the center of the tin, you can
>paint a heart, write the family's last name, etc... When paint is
>completely dry, seal the tin. Hint...I tried a spray on sealer and even
>though it said it wouldn't, it turned yellow where it pooled on the
>inside edge. I've always used a paint on sealer since.
