Cover a non-working fireplace with
an interesting piece of framed
ceiling tin. This would also look
nice in front of a fireplace in the
summer when it's not in use.

Materials:
ceiling tile
2" x 2" redwood
hammer
drill or screwdriver
saw
finishing nail
hammer
tape measure
miter box
screws
Steps:
1.
Build the support frame out of redwood
as follows: cut two short pieces for the
top and bottom and two longer pieces for
the sides according to the tile
dimensions (extend the longer pieces to
serve as legs for the screen). Screw the
pieces together.
2.
Set the tile onto the frame and nail it
in place. Flatten the metal along the
edge of the tile with a hammer so the
molding will be flat.
3.
Place the molding on the tile and secure
it with finishing nails.
4.
Cut two pieces of redwood into two-foot
lengths. Screw them onto the bottom to
form a base. |
