You Can D.I.Y. (After Pinterest Shows Me How): Cookie Sheet Magnet Board

Keeping with my promise to share a little home décor on here, I thought I’d recommend this very simple d.i.y. I found on everybody’s favorite idea machine, Pinterest, for all you city dwellers and suburbanites! This craft is so easy, you can do it on your next rainy day.

d.i.y. Magnet Board

All you need is:

• A dollar cookie sheet (the thin one-time use kind)
• Some fabric/ wrapping paper
• Ribbon/ rope/ string
• Adhesive/ hot glue gun
• Hole punch
• Cute magnet

Directions:

1. Wrap the cookie sheet in fabric or wrapping paper. Secure the fabric or wrapping paper with your chosen form of adhesive. (Hot glue works better with fabric, adhesive patches work better with wrapping paper.)
2. In the center about 2.5 inches from the “top”, (or wherever you plan on hanging your board from,) punch two holes, evenly spaced and centered through the board.
3. String ribbon or rope through the whole and tie ends together. Bows are cute too!
4. Cover with magnets, wish lists, reminders and business cards…and ‘voila’!
