OMG I can't believe this video came up. I remember watching your mother everyday years ago. I even taped her shows. Unfortunately I don't have a player for the cassettes anymore. I remember seeing you on her show too. Your mom is the reason I started doing crafts. Doing crafts has always calmed my nerves and relaxed me. I bought and used many of her products. I have subscribed to your channel so I know I'll be seeing more fun crafts. Good Luck Ladies. I miss your mom and I've never forgotten her.
I found this video by accident. It was so lovely seeing you on the tube again! I too, used to watch you and your mom on television, many moons ago. I now live in jolly old England and it brought back wonderful memories of all the crafts I used to do. Luckily, Aleene's glue has crossed the pond along with companies using the same color of bottle and similar names to try and imitate this fabulous glue. I am not fooled! Hope I can find more videos or old ones of you and your lovely family. Thank you for being a part of my life! May God Bless and keep you and yours safe!
Hi, gals! I was an avid watcher of all things Aleene ... and I'm so glad to have found you again. I remember learning this technique years ago ... loved it then, still love it now. I'm sitting here eyeing an old book that I plan to turn into an art journal and this would be a perfect technique for the covers. Thank you for all the years you have shared your talents with us; I hope you will continue to do so for many more years to come. God bless.:)
So glad you are on YT. Watched you all on your mom's tv show years ago. Never miised a day, it wasn't morning without Aleens. Loveing all these crafts and am having fun doing them wit my friends.
Just came across your video and wanted to thank you for taking the time to produce it and share your ideas. Great technique ... nice to see something different.
So glad I saw this tutorial! I make a box for my mom every xmas and her birthday so when I saw this, I knew I was going to use this technique. It turned out GREAT! Thanks!!!
I've also achieved the look of forged copper,bronze,gold and brass by painting the foil. Acrylic in metallic colors looks pretty in both bright and antiqued faux finishes. Thinned acrylic paint in black, brown, grey or verdigris offers lots of variety to compliment any decor.
This is so awesome -- thank you! I bought an old cigar box and wanted to make a little "memory" box for my niece. This will work out wonderful. I was planning on using some old jewely pieces from my mom her has been gone for 12 years (the pieces that no one wanted but I am oh so glad I saved!). I also have some old watches and never even thought of those to adorn with. Then there's all my stampin embellishments. It will rock!
Hi Sue Ann! Always great to hear from our Aleene's fans! We miss Momma Aleene and are so grateful to have watched throughout our lifetime how she changed so many lives through creativity. [Tiffany]
Wow what a blast from my past..HI HEIDI.. Its been a long time :) I did this tech on a frame for my Mommy. Its still on her wall with a pic in it..Take care!
Happy to see you on utube... I used to watch tv once in a while when they had nice shows on like yours! Like this craft, you could always use what you had onhand. Wonderful... I am going to go do a sample now so I will remember to use this next crafting session! xoxo
I love the effect! My mom actually did this when I was very little and I never knew how. The addition of the black paint gives it a look of depth and makes it really unique! I have a couple of broken vases that I'm going to do this on! Thanks for the tips, love it!
Of course some people will try and find the one thing…of course they are glued on. I really love the crafts you do. Sounds like your Mom started you two out with crafts, love and fun!
Boy was I ever excited to see you, Heidi. I watched your Mom's crafting show from it's onset for a long time after. I sure have missed not being able to watch it on TV. I even remember when she had you on the first time you appeared on the show. I think you and Tiffany have done a wonderful job and I enjoy making the crafts you demonstrate. You're Awesome !!! I am so grateful that you share your talents with others the way you do, and your demonstrations and explanations of the "how to" are so easy to understand. Thanks a million.
Amazing results with such simple supplies - that's a GREAT technique. Recycling a coffee cup sleeve knocked me back in my chair! LOL. Thank you so much for the ideas.
I'd forgotten about this technique which some of my mom's friends used. My mom only looked on - the craft gene seemed to have skipped a generation (her at least) but fortunately hasn't skipped my kids or grandkids! Interestingly I have a newspaper clipping of her and friends doing this work in a Sioux City Iowa newspaper back in the 50's. But as I said, she was an onlooker! Thanks for posting!
Diane- Thank you.. It is a great technique, as you can use it for so many things. My sister forged foiled the walls in a small bathroom years ago... it looked fabulous!
Love this technique! I remember seeing on the Aleene's craft show that I used to tape every day as I was at work and watched it at night. I did this forged foil technique on so many things, my husband at the time was afraid he would be next! LOL!!! Thanks for bringing it back along with any and all other techniques used at that time. I so enjoyed all those shows!!
I used to watch your mother on tv all the time, so glad I found you!!! I love this technique. I make my own cards and I will definitely be using this technique to make some masculine cards for my family and friends.
Love this! Great work, and how neat that your mother and friends did this in the 60's. Neat craft tradition to hand down. Thank you for sharing. I'm an art teacher for middle schoolers and will try to think of some way to share a project with my students :)
Heidi and Tiffany, I watched your show every Saturday morning. I also own The Big Book of Crafts Binders. I still use the ideas. In fact our home mission group PFMC-Helping Hands will be doing a few more of the crafts for Operation Christmas Child boxes.
Hi Carol! So nice to hear from you. Those Big Book of Crafts were definitely a labor of love. We still reference them too! So happy to reconnect with our Aleene's fans! [Tiffany]
That's really cool, thanks for the tutorial! I found that if you use a metallic silver basecoat with a thin coat of whatever color you choose you can get a similar finish
Thanks, just found your site...I teach patients at Hospice and always looking for inexpensive, fun ideas that look great and can be done in a couple of hours. This is perfect! P.S. I am a metal sculptor and can't really take my welder and plasma cutter to work with my team.
Thanks ThisTrish SO happy you found Cool2Craft and are so grateful that you are teaching at Hospice. Crafting can bring such joy. This sounds like the perfect project for you!
So many things I loved about this video! There is a sense of pride and sheer joy transmitted. I clicked the Like button even before the actual tutorial started! I will definitely try this at home! Thank you for sharing!
So good to see you guys! I SO remember this tech.a classic. I miss the Aleene's show.It's still the only glue I buy! Great stuff,been using it for 20+ years :)
That looks great! My husband bought a box to wrap my Christmas present in. It's a pretty Big box. I am going to turn it into a jewelry box for my daughter.
i wasn't looking for this craft project but Bless God because I love this and will use thise as a card holder at my wedding instead of buying one. 🤗🤗🤗. thank you for sharing such amazing inspirations.
You did not show how you finished the inside of box top and bottom. I love it , many years ago I had purchased Arleen's Craft Book I believe I still have it in my Shed I loved her and her work, I am so glad I found you guys. God Bless
Thank you sweet girl I have loads of 8track tv classes from you your mom your sister friends but now my sweet husband passed away last year and. I can’t play them yet cause I don’t know how to plug them to work but Iv found you on here with this forged looking box Happy New Year and God bless .
As soon as I saw this I was reminded that in one of my drawers I have a small folder back from the late 60's or early 70's of things to make with foil. Back then it was IN to make your own Things. I have saved that since I was a kid. It wasn't like what you made here but had been added color. I'm wondering if it could have been some of your mother's ideas? This is really a nice technique you are using here, I'm going to have to try it out. Great video!!
Great tips! You can also get aluminium tape from the hardware store - it's essentially foil with an adhesive backing. I've done this for costumes to fake the look of metal. A little brush of paint and it looks great.
omg omg omg! i used to watch you guys on your tv show with your mama! i still have some of the flyer idea books with bread dough roses and stuff! so happy to find you on the worldwide web :) i am big time into scrapbooking now, so i will hunt your ideas to use for that. both of y'all have a great week!
I seen this video when I first started doing art and I use this technique often. I love how you ladies respond to ur comments even when their from idiots and morons who think you owe them something. Thanks for the ideas of other textures that's why I came back to this video I remember you giving some but for some reason I was at a block. thank you
wow can you make jewelry with this? if so will you please do tutorial making jewelry with this technique? I love love love your videos. You guys are so creative!
I'm a fan of the Aleene's show from way back. I'd get up early on Sat. to watch it. No DVR, video, Tivo back then. As I am watching Heidi struggle a bit with the Tacky Glue, I'd like to know if you've ever considered putting it in a jar similar to what cold cream comes in. It would make it a bit better for those of us with arthritis. Using a small plastic knife to remove and spread it would be helpful. You may already have this on the market. If so, overlook my comment.
This looks easy and fun. Could you spray-paint the foil with metallic paint and then use the black paint on it, to make it look like aged bronze or copper?
It absolutely looks like AWESOME FUN!!! Your finished box is just Beautiful! I will definitely be given this technique a try. I love to alter boxes. Thank you so much for sharing. Hugz:) Taylor
Excellent tutorial. I like idea that is mentioned below about the sealant. May stiffen up the aluminium a bit so that it last longer. Just a thought. TFS :-)
Yes Tina Johnson You can certainly add a sealant if you like. We do have pieces from the Aleene's vintage archives that are over 50 years old that weren't sealed that still look good. So it really becomes a personal choice of sealant or not. Thanks for stopping by and sharing! [Tiffany]
I am positively in LOVE with this channel and so addicted! You guys have the coolest ideas! I love that you use stuff from around the house and nothing is wasted but mostly I love that what you make doesn't appear to be junk...there is a fine line when it comes to crafts! I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel & now I've got tons of videos I've never seen so Yay for me! :) Thanks so much for sharing all your great ideas with us! Merry Christmas!!!
Hi TheRealAppeal! We love connecting with our creative friends and try to answer as many questions as we can :) So happy to hear that you are enjoying this technique! Since our Momma Aleene came up with this technique over 50 years ago, it has definitely stood the test of time!
This is a great craft idea. How do you do this on a rounded object like a wooden bucket? The tin foil was hard to wrap without it doubling up. I tried using pennies underneath for texture, but it didn't seem to work. What did I do wrong?
So many ideas where this can be applied...you could glue thick yarn or cording to write in cursive names or initials....glue on lentils or small pasta for texture...great to remember some things can be so simple and yet so chic. Thanks!!!
I try to recall all your mom's projects that she had on her show. True crafters know that you guys are crafting pioneers. My question is I remember your mom doing projects with glass beads and mod podge or deco podge but I can't seem to find anything in reference to that project is there anyway or time you will post this project.
Very systematic instructions about the preparations pf art thing. Nicely shared new idea. I am going to try it definitely. Happy and artistic new year 2019.

Hi Sue Ann! Always great to hear from our Aleene's fans! We miss Momma Aleene and are so grateful to have watched throughout our lifetime how she changed so many lives through creativity. [Tiffany]
What an awesome technique. I painted mine with the brown caramel, and ginger alcohol inks. Came out gorgeous. Thanks for inspiring.
WOW haven't seen you ladies in years. Brought back wonderful memories of my son and I watching the show ❤
Thanks Irish Rose :) Great to reconnect with our Aleene's fans! XOXO Tiffany

Hi Heidi, I reconize your voice. We use to watch Aleenes all the time. By the way how is your MOM and Sis? Have a great day
I miss your show. I remember getting my kids off to school and grabbing a coffee and just chilling out watching you and your mom...
Awwwww, thanks Lynn! It's great to keep connected with our Aleene's fans! [Tiffany]

I remember the show too! I would not miss a show!
I like it. The black paint really gives it dimension and a rustic look. Makes it more realistic, and not just like "oh it's aluminum foil". Nice job.
Happy to see you on utube... I used to watch tv once in a while when they had nice shows on like yours! Like this craft, you could always use what you had onhand. Wonderful... I am going to go do a sample now so I will remember to use this next crafting session! xoxo

Wow takes me way back! Still have many of your craft books. Watched on tv up North. Glad to see yuns again. God bless.
Of course some people will try and find the one thing…of course they are glued on.
I really love the crafts you do. Sounds like your Mom started you two out with crafts, love and fun!

I remember your show on TV along time ago. Nice seeing the tutorial videos here.
This was awesome! A wonderful idea, something my niece & I could do together. Thanks!
Very cool. I got started crafting watching your mom on TV. The way you decorated the box is so pretty. Great ideas always. TFS!!! :-D
10-plus years down the road, and it's still cool!
Yes Deborah - Heidi and I have been crafting for as long as we can remember. Creativity is definitely our passion! [Tiffany]

What a great idea! Thank you so much for sharing. Greetings from Malaysia!
I love the look of this technique. It looks great with cogs under it too. Thanks for sharing 😊
Yes, this technique looks great with cogs. Super cool for a steampunk effect!
That's really cool, thanks for the tutorial! I found that if you use a metallic silver basecoat with a thin coat of whatever color you choose you can get a similar finish

Very cute idea. Lovely to find things I can make with my grand-children.
Fabulous effect! What a great idea and there are so many ways to use this technique, brilliant, thank you! x
Thanks Denise! You will have a lot of fun creating with this technique!
WOW so simply but so beautiful.. I am assuming you line the interior of the box with fabric if you haven't fully covered in the foil ??
Loved your Mom and loved you all. So happy you are on YT for us xoxo jonnie
I can remember doing this craft during the summer reading program at my local library as a kid! Thanks for reminding me how much fun it can be!
so cool! thank you so much for your gracious packaging care and creativity!
What a lovely technique!👍👌 Which is the glue you used please?
I actually like it! Especially with embellishments. can make keepsake boxes for hubby.
So many things I loved about this video! There is a sense of pride and sheer joy transmitted. I clicked the Like button even before the actual tutorial started! I will definitely try this at home! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Bibi! We love our Momma Aleene's vintage techniques! [Heidi & Tiffany]
We know how blessed we are to have her for our mom! Thanks, JerseyTjej!
So good to see you guys! I SO remember this tech.a classic. I miss the Aleene's show.It's still the only glue I buy! Great stuff,been using it for 20+ years :)

Thanks Maryjane1340! So delighted to hear that you enjoyed Momma Aleene's vintage project technique!
So glad to find you are the 'new' Aleens
You did not show how you finished the inside of box top and bottom. I love it , many years ago I had purchased Arleen's Craft Book I believe I still have it in my Shed I loved her and her work, I am so glad I found you guys. God Bless
Thank you sweet girl I have loads of 8track tv classes from you your mom your sister friends but now my sweet husband passed away last year and. I can’t play them yet cause I don’t know how to plug them to work but Iv found you on here with this forged looking box Happy New Year and God bless .

So cool! I love the beads you added for the feet! Such a great idea.
This is a great idea as party favors. Your mom is blessed. Thanks for sharing.
As soon as I saw this I was reminded that in one of my drawers I have a small folder back from the late 60's or early 70's of things to make with foil. Back then it was IN to make your own Things. I have saved that since I was a kid. It wasn't like what you made here but had been added color. I'm wondering if it could have been some of your mother's ideas? This is really a nice technique you are using here, I'm going to have to try it out. Great video!!
YEs MissWitchiepoo ! The project you described sounds like it would have been one of Momma Aleene's. [Tiffany]
Great tips! You can also get aluminium tape from the hardware store - it's essentially foil with an adhesive backing. I've done this for costumes to fake the look of metal. A little brush of paint and it looks great.
astrangeone Yes astrangeone! Great idea!
Wow!! this is a really cool idea. Thank you for sharing this....I'll definitely try this.
Jasmin Andrews Thanks Jasmin! Let us know what you make!
I so miss your show and your Mom!! tyfs!
My mind is swimming with ideas! Thanks!
omg omg omg! i used to watch you guys on your tv show with your mama! i still have some of the flyer idea books with bread dough roses and stuff! so happy to find you on the worldwide web :) i am big time into scrapbooking now, so i will hunt your ideas to use for that. both of y'all have a great week!

Used to watch your show and y'all and your Mom all the time. Miss the great ideas.
Hi Diane! Always nice to reconnect with our Aleene's fans! [Tiffany]
So happy that we inspired you!
So delighted to hear this Althea! This is one of my favorite techniques from the Momma Aleene archives! [EcoHeidi]
Love it! I don't understand the thumbs down...????? It has a rustic type look that many of us love...❤ thank u
Thanks Pamela! We recognize that everyone has different creative tastes. [Tiffany]
Because it looks like a box covered in aluminum foil
Thank you so much for the tutorial. It was very simple to follow.
Daphne Dolan Thanks Daphne! So glad you stopped by our channel!
We're so pleased you were inspired by this project!
I remember watching this with your Mom. LOVED her show!

Excellent!
That is a technique you can use with a lot of things. Thank you so much for sharing!!
How about embossing on it, have you tried that? Can you do an episode on it if its possible to do it? Great idea.. Thanks for sharing
TheJervis6 Yes, this technique can be embossed. ua-cam.com/video/noj7UkcAggM/v-deo.html
What a great idea! and better still I have a box to cover! Just found your site and have subscribed.tfs.
Thanks for stopping by! So glad that you found us!
I think the corugated parts make it look quite nice. I will try this on a picture frame
Very interesting and crafty, thank you for your great instructions.
Thank you Donna! [Heidi]
Is the box ''noisy'' at all like does it soumd like its tin foil? Really good idea
So many ideas where this can be applied...you could glue thick yarn or cording to write in cursive names or initials....glue on lentils or small pasta for texture...great to remember some things can be so simple and yet so chic. Thanks!!!
Wow!!! I liked it soo simple but too beautiful.. I'm going to make one.thank you
Thanks for watching Treasa! It's definitely easy and a fun faux technique! [Tiffany]
I try to recall all your mom's projects that she had on her show. True crafters know that you guys are crafting pioneers. My question is I remember your mom doing projects with glass beads and mod podge or deco podge but I can't seem to find anything in reference to that project is there anyway or time you will post this project.
@Cool2Craft I will indeed, I just followed your link and see all sorts of wonderful crafts. Thank you for the invitation! xoxo
Very systematic instructions about the preparations pf art thing. Nicely shared new idea. I am going to try it definitely. Happy and artistic new year 2019.
Thank you @alkachitnis! We hope you enjoy creating with this technique!
