Antique Tin Ceiling Tile Frame

Happy Almost Weekend Everyone! I'm so excited December is finally here- Christmas Holidays, family gatherings, my birthday... Oh ya! My birthday is coming up in a few weeks- time to celebrate!


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!
