Enhance Your Table – DIY Faux Tin Place Mats

Hi Friends

Today I wanted to share this great project from Farmhousestylemag that I know you guys will love.

A project that will enhance your dining table with the delicate beauty of faux vintage-tin ceiling tiles turned into place mats.

I am working with Farmhouse Style Magazine to bring you this fabulous project.

Let’s take a look at what supplies we need

(As seen in Farmhouse Style – Autumn 2018)

Supplies:

2’x4′ vinyl ceiling panels*

Off-white chalky-finish paint

Brown or rust chalky-finish paint

Paintbrush

Sandpaper

Matte waterproof spray sealer

Instructions:

1. Cut a 2’x4′ vinyl galvanized-finish ceiling-tile panel into several approximately 12″x18″ place mats. (This panel design yielded four placemats vertically along the short side.)

2. Dry brush over each place mat with off-white chalky-finish paint, leaving small areas of the metal tones underneath exposed. Let dry.

3. Lightly dab the corners and outer edges of the place mat with brown or rust chalky-finish paint. Then, lightly brush over the entire placemat, using minimal paint. Let dry.

4. Lightly sand random areas to expose the metal tones underneath. Finish with a matte waterproof spray sealer.

*Alternatively, small decorative backsplash panels that replicate vintage tin ceiling tiles would also work.
