Tin is everywhere, you just don't realize it. I found this at a work site where they had extra flashing and I took these things and cut circles out, I take the lids from my tin cans and make things. It's the ultimate recycling art project. Not only are you recycling, you are making beautiful art work and it will last forever, and the rustier it gets, the better it looks. So you can make sconces from this like I said, you can make chandeliers, you can make candle sticks, candle holders and today we are going to make ornaments.
