Do you find your fridge is over-cluttered with cute photos, memos and to-do-lists?
Yeah, me too, so lets make a fun magnet board for extra space!
As usual, this is a super fast.stupid easy. do.it.yourself project.... let's go:
All you need is a metal sheet.platter or tray.
Originally I was going to thrift a cookie sheet for this.. but then I discovered this delightful metal tray. (Tip: bring a magnet along while shopping to ensure your tray is magnetic).
Also, you'll need spray paint.
I was hoping to use a turquoise coloured spray... but opted for white in the end.
Imagine my delight as I sprayed the tray and saw a doily appear (told you I was obsessed)!
(The only other issue is hanging your magnet board - since mine had a scalloped edge, I could just put a nail through. But, if you're using a metal tray, you'll likely have to drill a hole or 'solder' a bracket on to the back.)
I'm now using my magnetic 'doily' in the kitchen to hold recipes as I bake/cook.
Stay tuned for the second tutorial: d.i.y cork magnets!
Happy crafting friends,
Mel :o)
What a good idea! I want one now, so I need to be on the lookout for a platter like this. Your finished project looks so clean and classy!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sadie! Now that I thrifted that platter.. I feel like I`ve seen them everywhere... hope you find one too! ;o)
ReplyDeleteAnother way to attach items to the wall is by crazy gluing a paper clip to the back of the tray/plate etc...just make sure you rough up the area with some sand paper if you are working with porcelain.
ReplyDeleteHey Mel!! For reals? I wouldn't have thought it would be strong/secure enough to hold.. but that's cool, thanks for the input - you still a crafty lady of the West out there? ;o) xo
ReplyDeletelove it!
