In the meantime you could win an early Christmas or Birthday present of your own; just enter my Dremel Trio Giveaway!
After your done doing that I thought it would be fun to show you a project I made with my Dremel recently- check out this frame I made the other day:
About a month ago I made a trip to a cool antique store just north of Altus and had found this:
I found a 4"x6" picture frame at the Goodwill store for $1 (orange stickers were 1/2 off that day!) and thought it would be cool to try and make a tin frame for it.
I used my Dremel Rotary tool to cut out one of the squares of the tin. I choose one that was in bad shape since I was going to be twisting and bending it up.
Next I cut an angle in the corners of the tin so I could mold the tin around the frame.
Once I had molded the tin all around I used a short screw in each of the 4 corners to secure it to the frame.
And done!
What do you think? If I try this again I might try to figure out how to make it look a little "cleaner" looking as far as the bent edges go. And now I need to figure out what to do with the rest of the tin ceiling piece.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and Geaux Tigers!

This looks great! I would have never thought of repurposing the tin like that. I love the colors and the rustic look!
It looked like a lot of work, but turned out great! Thank you for sharing this unique idea!
I really, really like that it's not perfect. It has an organic feel to it, as if you created the tin portion by hand. Great job! Thanks for sharing at Sunday's Best =)
Wow, that is really cool. I really like the look. I like it's imperfections. I think it makes it look more vintagey. A lot of work, but so worth it. Thanks for sharing over at Sunday's Best. Now following you!
