{Materials (and where I got them):
5X7 wooden unfinished frame (Michaels)
5X7 galvanized step flashing (sheet metal pieces- Home Depot)
Flatback clear marble accents (JoAnns)
Heavy magnets- I use Neodymium Rare Earth Magnets (Willow Run Crafts-Etsy)
silk or fabric flower (Dollar Store)
vinyl lettering (Parker Jane Boutique)
paint (Michaels/JoAnns)
paintbrushes (1 for painting, 1 for gluing)
glue- modge podge, super glue or hot glue gun}
HOW TO MAKE MAGNET BOARD:
Step 1: Remove contents of frame & Paint it!
Step 2: When completely dry, place & rub on vinyl lettering
Step 3: Take apart silk flower stem & center, replace with pretty button or rhinestone brad. Hot glue on frame. You could also make a fabulous fabric flower for some extra cuteness!
Step 4: Trim edges of step flashing (metal piece) with scissors so that it fits well and place inside frame- DONE!
HOW TO MAKE MAGNETS:
Step 1: Trace marble accent on pretty paper & cut out
Step 2: Paint modge podge on marble back (flat part) and stick paper on- pretty side up
Step 3: Hot glue or super glue magnet on back-- you definitely need super heavy duty magnets or else the marbles will just fall off once placed on magnet board.
