The sheet metal that is often used in crafts can be found in a couple of places. First, and easiest is a craft store. Depending on where you live...Porters, Michaels, or Roberts Crafts usually have a selection of cut metal sheets. If you do not live near any of these stores, you will find a local plumber supply store to be helpful. . . perferably one that will also cut the metal for you. This way is usually much cheaper, but you do have to buy more at a time.
I keep seeing magnetic strips or sheets attached to wood on some of your samples. Can you tell me where I can buy this? I have looked at local hardware and home improvement stores and find some sheets but they are too large and don't have the shiney, textured look that I am seeing in your samples. Thanks for your help!
Good morning! Thanks for all your kind words! We are ever a work in progress!
I find that plumbing supply stores carry sheet metal the cheapest. However, they are not always able to cut it. They can usually recommend someone with a lathe to cut it though. This will be the most economical way to get sheet metal. Craft stores like Roberts or Michaels will also carry sheet metal, but they will cost quite a bit more.
As for magnets, I do not know what that person used for a magnet, but I do like using EARTH magnets as they are super strong. I normally go to my local Army Surplus store for these.
Hope that helps! This is a great time of year to get that vinyl business up and going!
You site just gets better all the time. I haven't been too into my vinyl business but looking at all your designs is getting me inspired to give it a push.
I have a question. Do you know where to purchase the metal sheeting that is used on projects such as the snowflake Christmas calendar? Also, do you know what the person used for the magnet that looked like a snowball?
Thank you very much!
