This cookie sheet was heading for the trash the other day. At the last minute, I decided to salvage it and make a magnetic board.
To make a magnetic board, you simply cover the front of your cookie sheet with fabric and glue the edges to the back of the board. I used a hot glue gun. Once your fabric is glued into place, embellish the board with pretty ribbon or ric rac - or leave it plain.
I used string that had little bits of blue in it. The string was in my yarn stash, so I think it’s actually a cotton yarn. I wrapped the yarn around the board to create a memo board effect. I also glued a silky type yarn around existing magnets to match the blue in the string. My last minute decision paid off. I’m glad I didn’t throw away the cookie sheet and I’m super happy with my new magnetic board.

Great Idea! I found a giant sized tray at the GW and wasn't sure what to do with it. I'll have to try this. Also, we have very similar tastes, I have many of the same cool images from the Graphics Fairy and Amazon books on my blog. :)

This is really adorable and would be so functional for me in the kitchen. Going to have to try it.
ReplyDeleteI did this project last night after being inspired by yours. Thanks for the idea. I linked you in The Downsize Challenge today in my spot about sorting through pots and pans in an effort to minimize kitchen clutter. This is a great use for my old cookie sheet and it will serve as a short-term memory message board for my grandfather who has dementia.
ReplyDeleteLove your magnetic board. If you're going to have a board up on the wall, it might as well be one that looks really good and has lots of character...and this one is fantastic. Love it!
