Objective:
Press a design into a sheet of tin.
Details:
1) Gather your supplies.
You'll need:
A) A sheet of metal
B) Tools for manipulating the tin, such as a stylus or punch.
Note: Your metal sheet does not have to be tin. In fact, aluminum sheets are probably an better choice. A tin can will also work, but is rather dangerous. It's probably worth it to buy the sheets!
2) Emboss, punch or etch into your sheet to create a fun print.
This is a higher point objective, so don't rush it! Put some time in effort into making something you're proud to share.
