    Steps:

    1. Paint the sides of the box cover and the box bottom with acrylic paint and let dry.

    2. Apply embossing ink to the entire surface of the box cover by brushing on with a sponge brush. Pour embossing enamel over the inked surface (figure A). Tap to remove excess and heat with a heat tool.

    3. Re-ink the surface with embossing ink and pour on a second layer of embossing enamel. Or, while your first layer of melted enamel is still tacky, quickly pour a second layer of embossing enamel over the first layer. After applying a second layer of enamel, remove excess and heat again.

    4. Repeat for a third layer of embossing enamel (figure B). Immediately after heating your last layer of enamel, stamp the punched tin stamp directly into the still hot embossing enamel (figure C). Hold for a moment while the enamel sets and then remove (figure D).

    5. After it cools, rub the piece lightly with a clean eraser (figure E). This will give the punched tin an aged look.

    6. Embellish the edge of the cover with jute, ribbon or embellishment of your choice.

    Variations: For a faux copper effect, use bronze ultra-thick embossing enamel. For a faux brass effect, use gold ultra thick embossing enamel.
