How very cool, you did a super job!! I also like it is a way to recycle, good idea all the way around. I can think of lots of ways to use this idea. Thank You so much for sharing with us.
So Cute...I miss tin piercing...it is a great way to get out your frustrations...all that hammering and you make something beautiful, not hurting anyone! I made and sold many things doing this years ago...wish I had saved some of them, but don't think I have many of them left. Pieces of tin cut out in 'farmy' shapes make great primitive ornaments! This is such an easy craft that anyone can do. I used to teach classes on this, but it is really not necessary to take a class, it is a craft any skill level can do. Love it made into the valance...great idea Peanut! Got any more pictures of your house to share with us? I love to see how others decorate.
They look terrific, what a great idea, there is just something so sweet about punched tin, I would never have thought of a window valance. You deserve a gold star.... Karin
How creative! I love the idea! I can see why you don't want a "traditional" curtin. Am I the only one that noticed the wonderful view through the window?? Beautiful!
Ooohh and aaahhh Peanut. Very nice. I can't see how they are attached. Did you bend the top at a 45-degree angle and then screw or nail to the upper window casing or use a board behind it or what? Just curious. Might like to try this in one room and see if I can do it. Thanks for sharing.

These are wonderful!! I've always wanted to make a pie safe. I asked the tinsmith at Old Sturbridge Village in MA on one of my visits how to do it and he showed me. Well I've never had the opportunity to make a pie safe yet (or a place to put one) but this looks like something I could even do! Thanks so much for the inspiration. I too would love to see more of what you've done.

What a clever idea. It is so cute and gives a home that country vintage feel. And how resourceful to be able to use something you had laying around your barn already! Good Job!
