Re-tile your shower walls using metal shingles to create a rustic yet elegant look. Consult a professional installer for tips on proper installation and sealing.
Place the shingles on your countertop or as a backsplash in the kitchen.
Cut the shingles, and use them to cover a mirror or picture frame. Paint a high-gloss, clear sealant over the shingles for a glamorous accent piece.
Place individual shingles on a folding screen. Paint them a translucent hue for a touch of color, or leave them unfinished for a rustic-chic look.
Build a raised planter bed using scraps of corrugated steel or tin. Weed and till the desired growing area. Set four sheets of metal in a rectangle standing on edge to form a box. Pack soil around the bottom to secure the sides of the box. Pour fresh soil and compost in for a pest- and disease-resistant growing space.
Cover the drawers on a nightstand or dresser in metal scraps that are cut to size for a primitive look. Mix materials by using a wood dresser to create contrast. Install vintage knobs and drawer pulls.
