How 2 : make a magnetic storage & inspiration board


You will need:

  • metal flashing (available at hardware stores)
  • scrapbook paper
  • glass puddles
  • glass topped metal containers
  • spray adhesive or carpet tape
  • tacky glue
  • mighty magnets
  • ribbon (optional)
Directions
  • bend 1/4 of the flashing over a sharp edge, so that it forms a stand
  • spray it front surface with spray adhesive or cover with carpet tape
  • place the paper on and trim as needed
  • paint the backs of glass puddles or glue on a little scraps of paper and let dry, then glue a mighty magnet on each one
  • glue ribbon around base of glass topped tin, if desired, to dress them up a bit
  • glue mighty magnets on the back of each tin and let dry completely
There you have it! It's perfect for:
  • holding inspiration pics with the magnets and those special charms or beads in the tins
  • holding recipes with the magnets and favorite spices in the tins
  • holding pics and postcards with the magnets and postage stamps and stickers in the tins
  • holding food/health diary with the magnets and vitamins/daily pills in the tins
