Punched Tin Alphabet - January 14, 2012

Punched Tin Alphabet - January 14, 2012

      I made this punched tin "alphabet" years ago and have it hanging on my dining room wall.   I took a piece of metal "tin-flashing" and taped it to a board and then I taped a "candlewicking"  pattern of this alphabet on top of it.  Then you take a hammer and nail and punch a hole in each dot on the pattern. It's a lot of fun to make.  I even let my son, who was 8 years old at the time,  make a punched tin "pineapple" design.  He loved playing with the hammer and nail.
