Review: Unique Free Cinema Pass Metal Sign From Homebody Accents

It can’t all be about knitting around here! Sometimes I like to take a break from the hooks and needles to play house and decorate, so when I was asked if I would like to review a one-of-a-kind “Free Cinema Pass” metal sign from Homebody Accents, I said yes! Throughout my career, I’ve worked on several film projects too, so there’s a personal element here … it all works out nicely.

Soon after the arrangements were made, the sign came in the mail and it was very well-packaged, already a great start.

The 7″ x 17″ wood frame is handmade in the USA using recycled barn or fence wood, which creates a rustic look that’s perfect in its imperfections. Every joint is secured with wood glue, then pressed together with a wooden vice. The back is then glued on and secured with twelve 5/8″ brads and once the glue dries, the metal sign is fastened on with rusted screws, creating an authentic, distressed look. The easy-hang bracket goes on last and let me tell you, I appreciated that very much. This item is seriously plug and play – no fiddling with wires or brackets – everything is done, you just have to hang it.

Here it is hanging in my guest bedroom. It looks amazing against the white-washed wood of the cabin walls.

The metal sign itself measures 6″ x 16″ – the glossy, full-color image is actually pressure-baked onto 24-gauge steel – it’s thick, not like some of the flimsy tin signs you often find at flea markets. It’s made through a process called sublimation: a mirror image is printed in metallic ink onto sublimation paper, then baked into the surface of a uniquely-coated metal blank in a heat press. The surface is finished with a proprietary polymer coating that gives the sign its shine and durability.

Here it is hanging on a cabin wall just outside my living room, you can see it looks great on a natural wood surface too.

    For the record, I do kind of think it can be all about knitting and fiber-related activity here. ¯_(?)_/¯
