Artist Trading Blocks! Who’da thunk it?
That’s Crafty! That’s who 😁
What a fabby couple of shows on Hochanda, with the lovely Jo Channon bringing demos, inspiration, hints and tips, and showcasing the fabby samples made by Samantha, Fliss, Helen, and myself.
In 2 sizes: 4” and 3” cubes, they are brilliant for decorating any which way you want to.
Here’s what I did....... using the That’s Crafty! atblocks, stencils, greyboard bits’n’pieces, stamps, light texture paste, multi surface paints, flat matte sprays, and 3D gloss gel medium, plus other oddments from my own craftstash.

A tube full of coins.

I’ve seen a few ATCoin storage tubes made from decorated Pringles tubes, but not one like this.
First I cut the ends off the tube and cut down the side.

Next I made some ends out of cardstock and cardboard, and attached them using masking tape and glue.

Then I painted all joins and edges with black gesso. 

Finally I made some bespoke paper using a That’s Crafty! ATCoin stamp, and decorated my storage 

tube.
