Recycled Crafts- Metal Embossed Wall Art Video

BySusan Myers on Uncategorized

I like to specialize in making recycled crafts.  About a year ago, I showed how to create metal embossed wall art– Faux Tin Tile Tutorial, where I took disposable aluminum cookie sheets and turned them into faux tin tiles.

Faux Tin Tiles made from disposable cookie sheets

Many readers have taken on this project and made tiles for not only wall art, but back splashes, headboards, kick-plates on stairs and even ceilings!

I then went 3D with this project and created the Enchanted Fish, Sleeping Mermaid, and most recently, The Winter Fairy.

Mona, from Craft Klatch took it one step further and not only did the embossing on disposable aluminum, but added resin to the final finish to create this beautiful tropical fish!  Want to know how she did it?

Well, Mona created a video that walks you through the embossing method and resin technique step by step!

I want to thank Mona for creating such a great video.  If you have any questions on the embossing procedure for disposable aluminum, this video will definitely help.  Be sure to visit Mona at her website Craft Klatch.  She does a lot of great projects in resin and her pieces are amazing!

    Hi there,
    I loved the video and understand it more than what I thought . they have cookie sheets at the Dollar Tree also. I thought it was metal punch ,like with holes around it. but it is a neater way. how do you fix the metal around the outside of the fish. metal cuts hurt. I love new ideas. and I only do crafts for gifts for friends and family. I don’t sell my crafts. can;t wait till I make a trip to the store.
    thanks and nice crafting.

  7. Very interesting video but I must say that is a Crochet Hook NOT a Knitting Needle. There is a difference. You could use the Knitting Needle to do your tracing due to its point but a Crochet Hook for puffing out the tin due to its rounded hook end.

  8. Loved the video of the fish, but where was her head?
