I bought some inexpensive wood frames at Walmart and got to work making them a little more functional.They didn't come with glass or a good way to hold a picture in; so I used some plastic frames and used Epoxy glue to adhere them to the back. Then painted them.
Next up was cutting my ceiling tile down to size. I used the cutting wheel on my Dremel for the job. Then spray painted those~
Then using some small nails/ tacks I hammered the ceiling tin to the frame. I made a blue one and a bronze/ silvery one. Originally the frames could only be used as free standing frames, but I tacked on some small picture hangers so they could be hung on the wall as well.
I think they turned out pretty cute!
Have you ever bought something that you were able to keep using and using over and over again?

Super cute! I really love the tin tile!
Beautiful job! I like how it turned out, it look lovely.
What a great way to add some character and texture to a frame!
I can't wait to get my hands on some tine tiles or stamped tin, mostly used for radiators. Not sure how I would use it, but I would find something.
Your frame turned out so cool! Love old ceiling tiles!!
