    The magnets are a great idea. Also on a painted silver tray. You can change out for the seasons. Or just Christmas. As a lot of people only do regular everyday. And just Christmas. Which is my favorite holiday for decorating and just goodwill to each other. We need more of that these days. Ty

    Teresa, I love this video! I bet I've watched it a dozen times! Would you put a hanger on the tin ceiling tiles, or just use them as shelf sitters? How do they stand up? I just painted one but painted the rusty side....guess it doesn't matter except when distressing its brownish! Oh well, I still love it. I love the way you changed out different ways to embellish it and the magnets are just great! I look forward to seeing every video you made and will be making!
