Does anyone have any good craft ideas for tin ceiling tile?

Question

We were given a bunch of old ceiling tile and we were going to sell it as is but I got online and started researching it. I found out that people are framing it and making mirrors out of it and selling it for alot of money. I am not very creative so does anyone have any other ideas or know of a website that shows how to do this? Here's what it looks like. http://photos.yahoo.com/jeffandlori3901

Answer 1

THEY ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL AS WALL ART. YOU CAN CLEAN THEM UP AND PAINT THEM OR LEAVE AS THEY ARE. DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE WALL YOU CAN USE ONE BY IT'S SELF OR A GROUP IN AN INTERESTING PATTERN OR MIX THEM UP WITH PHOTOS.

YOU CAN USE THEM AS A COVER FOR A BAD LOOKING TABLE TOP OR PUT THEM ON A DESK AND COVER WITH GLASS SO YOU CAN SEE THROUGH IT

USE SEVERAL FOR TO DECORATE A LARGE DOOR OR TO DECORATE SMALLER CABINET DOORS

MAKE A SERVING TRAY IF YOU SUPPORT IT UNDERNEATH WITH A BOARD CUT TO FIT AND A GLASS TOP

IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH YOU CAN USE THEM AS A BORDER IN A ROOM

USE AS A FACE FOR A CLOCK

COVER A STORAGE CONTAINER

YOU MIGHT HAVE A COOL PLACE IN YOUR GARDEN TO DECORATE WITH THEM

THEY WOULD LOOK GREAT ON A FIREPLACE MANTLE

JUST A FEW IDEAS FOR YOU. THEY ARE REALLY GREAT ITEMS TO HANG ON TO AND USE AGAIN FOR FUN THINGS. I'M SO JEALOUS!

Answer 2

I think Hyde & AJ has some great ideas. Also, they would make a great backsplash in the kitchen. They would be great on top of a coffee table. A beautiful fireplace surround. You could make a nice clock out of one.

Answer 3

If you aren't very creative, perhaps you should sell it online on eBay... or you could always use it as it was planned... tile a ceiling...

You could also make a fantastic table top and paint it black then glaze it gold.... Or you could always give it to me... I've VERY creative... LOL

Answer 4

make covers that go around light switches and electrical plug ins. Very easy to do.
