What a great idea :thumbsup: I'm with Martha, this pattern would show up really well in a quilt. :twisted: :thumbsup:

This same pattern is available in a heavy embossed wallpaper.Talk about easy to bend.... :lol: It would take a real good adhesive and you would have to clearcoat over to keep it from peeling but with the right paints and the right glaze for contrast as patina it look exactly like a tin ceiling. My son has it done in his little cottage house. I looks like the real mcCoy.

Doug, I was looking at those Pattern punched craft panels next to the extruded aluminum at lowes the other day and thought about doing my cabinet doors in those. Do you think the tin panels would hold up after say crossing the speed bumps in the camp ground with a can of pork and beans in the cabinet?

Mark :thinking:

I'm backing them with 1/8" baltic birch painted black just for such a happening. They aren't true tin either, steel with a tin plate on them. Doug
