I need strips of metal; fairly firm, but bendable without having to use a machine; maybe an inch and a half to two inches wide. The finished item will hang on a wall, and not need to bear any weight.

I have tin snips if needed, but no idea of what to buy and snip.

The word "flashing" comes to mind, but I can't think why.

Any good ideas where/how/what will fit the bill?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
