magnetic board

now. this is in no way a new concept. but per my aunt's request for two magnetic boards...I decided to do it AGAAGG style...super cheap and using my hot glue gun.

scored some frames at the di (thrift store)

oh sweet $1 price tag....how I love you.

i took out the pictures and glass

and painted...

i took some scrapbook paper and hot glued the strips around the frame....

and added some paper embellishments...

then I shopped at my local Lowe's and found this roll of galvanized tin (in the flashing aisle) it's what I use for my magnetic menu boards...this roll cost me $10 and I have about 8 feet left....so it's SUPER cheap compared to the metal you buy at craft stores.

marked out the size

and "borrowed" my husband's tin snips and cut them apart

(and when I say "borrowed" i mean i have NO intention of returning them. NONE. and when he asks for them I will politely say, I put them right back where you showed me lover...that's so strange...i wonder where they could be?.....)

hot glued it into the frame....

hot glued a matching ribbon on the back...

and then made some magnets:

just those clear rocks.....I cut out a circle of scrapbook paper and hot glued them to the back...

and added a magnet.

and that's all....project cost= about $3. can't beat that.

talk about some glare...
