METAL SHEETSCrafting with

Stamp ChampTry stamping metal sheets to create personalized tags, jewelry, décor and more! And to help the letters stand out, fill them in with a black enamel marker. Idea: Glue stamped cutouts to birch rounds and back them with craft magnets.

Silver LiningAdd dimension to metal projects (like this heart planter) by shaping the sheeting with a rubber mallet—it won’t leave hammer marks! Tip: Need something stronger than glue? Solder metal pieces together for a more permanent hold.

Mounting heart: Place two aluminum tubes in stepping stone mix. After the mix hardens, trim the tubes (if needed) and solder the heart on top.

Bold FoldFolding thin metal sheets isn’t that different from folding paper—it just requires a couple of extra tools. Use a C-clamp to keep sheeting secure while making folds, and use a wood plank to flatten the creases. Quick tip: Etch guidelines into the sheets before folding.

Sign UpTransform a metal sheet into personalized home décor with a self-adhesive vinyl design. No need to paint or engrave here—let the custom-cut sticker do all the work! Psst…Nail the sheet to a painted wood pallet to display.

Great WallCopper and aluminum rolls are a great size for large art projects. Just unroll, cut and embellish! Here’s a hint: When hand-embossing, place the metal on chipboard or foam core so it can bend to form deeper impressions.

Top DrawerA cutting machine with an engraving tip can emboss details in a snap! For added dimension, sandwich a thin sheet of craft foam between the cutting mat and the metal to create more defined indentations.

On the cover: Cut, shape and layer metal sheeting to create 3D sculptures. For hanging, try mounting the finished piece on a wood plaque.
