I had been on the hunt for a while for a great message board/magnet board to put on the side of my kitchen cabinet above my phone (the ideal place for a message!) but I couldn't find anything with the proper dimensions. I ended up finding an easy make-your-own solution online and tested it out for myself! It turned out great, and it cost me a couple of bucks to make (although I did have to put some money into it to get some supplies that I was out of!).
Here's the instructions on how I did it!
You'll need:
-Cookie sheet (I bought mine from Dollarama)
-2 pieces of scrapbook paper (best to go with a pattern and a stripe)
-spray adhesive glue (will cost about $6-7 for a LARGE can that will last you forever)
-Ribbon (that matches your paper)
-Glue dots or double sided tape (commonly used for scrapbooking)
-Magnets, buy them or make your own with craft magnets from the Dollarama and some jewels (like you see in mine)
-Embellishments if you want (little letters like "NOTES" or scrapbook flowers would work nicely) you will need a glue gun to attach them to the edge of the cookie sheet
Instructions:
-Drill two holes in the top of your cookie sheet to pull the ribbon through and tie into a bow for hanging
-Cut the two pieces of paper to fit 1/2 and 1/2 of the cookie sheet (make sure to round out the edges for the inside of the cookie sheet)
-Spray the backs of the paper (make sure you have something underneath it so the spray doesn't go everywhere...I just did mine in the garage!)
-Adhere your papers to the cookie sheet
-Cut ribbon to size and cover your seam in the paper and use glue dots or adhesive tape to attach it
-Add any embellishments that you choose!
VOILA you are done!

Just made this, still not sure if I'm keeping it in my house, or it's going with my daughter to high school for her locker- but either way it was so easy and such a neat little project! Thanks!
This is just the cutest idea! Can't wait to make one!
