Annotations for Speaker: Elaine Archuleta

There's two ways of making the tin. One is the way we learned here, where you do each little indentation into the tin on your own by doing each one individually, while nowadays they're making that with machines. But I think it's more unique when you take the time and make your own piece.

If you're going to make it into a nightlight, you're going to need a very pointy tip. We have different ones here, and yours is going to be a nightlight, right?

You don't want your holes too close, but you don't want them too far. So you can keep that distance away from each one of them and go all the way around your piece and see how it works.

Do you let this, will you let us take these home? Sure.

My name is Leona Herrera, and I like doing tin. I like doing a lot of stuff with it. I've already made the light switch cover, and I'm already working on this. It's for my picture, but I want to give my mom.

Tin work in our community hasn't been around lately these last years, but the thing about it is that it's been done many years before, and I think it's great that we can introduce it back into the young kids and keep it going for the years to come.

Start stamping out any design that you want. Create your own. Do you have a plan? Let's see. You know, it's just mostly design and shapes. It's easy on you, especially as a beginner.

What you're going to do is draw the line all the way around your image, okay, and keep it a certain distance away from the edge.

I wasn't the only one making plans. Get the hole, Elaine. I'm going to hang it. Well, let's finish it. You can make the hole. Let's see if you can do that part, though. Oh, look at that line.
