repurposed tv trays

awhile back I found a bunch of patterned metal tv trays:


and got the idea to repurpose them into frames:


I used an air nibbler {air compressor required} to do basic cutting & then I went in with metal shears to refine the lines.


I really love the way they look!

I even used the center pieces that were cut out to make some little critters:



I've still got some good sized pieces left that I could work with...I think I'll cut out some letters next :)
