We needed a place to display the kids art, accomplishments, calendars, etc. besides the kitchen refrigerator. When I came across a similar magnet board I decided it was the perfect fix. My kids jumped in and made each board "their own".
What you need for the board-
What you need for the board-
- a sheet of metal the desired size (you can buy them already cut into specific sizes or use scissors and cut to size - wear gloves)
- 1x2 wood pieces cut to fit the length and width (don't miter cut as the tack in the corner will slide out)
- upholstery tacks (you decide how many and what kind. They basically hold the metal sheet to the wood frame on the back)
- chalkboard paint
- other paint if desired
