Try a hardware store and also Hobby Lobby. Amazon may also help.
If this is what you are looking for, they are kinda pricey : https://search.vandykes.com/search?p=Q&lbc=vandykes&uid=317989912&ts=custom&w=wire%20grille&method=and&view=grid&af=&isort=price
or Decorative Wire Grille Pre-Woven 16" x 42" Sheets-Antique Pewter
Home improvement and hardware stores will have a selection. A builders supply (not Home Depot or other big box stores, a real builders supply house), some hobby and craft stores will have a selection of decorative screening. Here are a couple of on line links.

Check out Home Depot, Lowes, or Menard's in the hardware section where they have flat and tubular bar stock. They also have decorative punched flat panels in the same area.
The first thing you need is to build a frame to the size needed. You can make it plain or you can build in a grid. Then varnish or paint or stain the frame.
Then google this site for lightweight wire fencing which you can attach to the shutter frame. There are all sorts of colors of spray paint you can get to accent from copper to bronze to gold.

I would go to a farm supply store for a great selection of wire and wire fencing.
