Description

Create alluring aluminum works of art inspired by Mexican Tin Relief folk traditions! This kit has everything you need to get started to add beautiful textured and raised designs to tin metal squares. Includes 48 pre-cut aluminum squares that students can trace chosen design on top (or draw their very own). Rub down on large areas to start "embossing" and make sure flip-side of design is pushed out. Turn over to emboss/add raised texture to the other side. Kids can then color the metal as creatively as they wish (multicolored Sharpies and pony beads are included). Finished pieces can be presented as jewelry, decorative tiles, or framed works of art! Instructions are included for thorough steps and design inspiration. Kit supplies 24 students. Choking hazard; not for children 3 years or under.
