Remodel Door Panels...

Remodel Door Panels...
In an effort to be really creative I have decided to redo my door panels. I have several questions first though:
1. What material can be used to replace the panel backing? Does anyone sell this stuff?
2. What kind of materials can I use to build shapes and designs?
3. How can I attach the designs to the backing?
4. Where can I find fabrics or materials to cover the panel?
There are probably other question, but I can't think of any now.

I used tweed to recover my original door panels, the factory had 3 different materials and 3 different shades of grey. i wanted something clean simple and one color. then i put the factory piece of metal trim back on to give it a factory look.
But if you wanted shapes, just cut the shapes out of foam, and them glue the new fabric over the foam.

Good information so far, thanks. But what about the door panel backing, the multi layer press board sort of stuff, what can I use to replace this???
Does any manufacturer supply this?

Looks good but a little to plain for me. It would be cool if it was raised in some spots. Otherwise good work.
