It would help a lot if you would speak about the process and what else you need in order to help people do this right

Hola, donde puedo comprar esa chapa metalica para tapizar?

[@lucianasutcliffe3350]

Hi can these be cut down to size? Seen people shortening them in other videos but can't find anything to snip through mine

[@molliesmakecreate8897]

Hi luciana, yes you can cut them down. They are very strong, so you will need a metal hacksaw blade (or similar), so some strong metal snips. Antonia
