DIY Magnetic Kitchen Board

Decorating your home can be so much fun, especially when you have the opportunity to do a little DIY and customize a specific piece. DIY can be a great way to get exactly the look you want, and also make something function for you! We thought this magnetic kitchen board created by Angélique Jarrier was not only clever, but pretty as well! With just a little of our burlap and a number of other items, she gave her magnetic board a gorgeous makeover!

‘Hello, here is my new creative project with a tutorial! A magnetic board for the kitchen. This idea can adapt itself for quite different rooms where the need for organization is present. For example, an office or a scraproom!
A little history of this project- for quite some time, I have had a magnetic picture in my kitchen which I found very practical but absolutely ugly (not matched with the rest of my decoration). He was quite metal, simple and without charm. My home’s style is more of a “country charm” look, so this metal piece did not match, and I had to quickly find an idea.
I was strongly inspired by the burlap. I decided to use burlap to give my metal piece a makeover!’ – explains her inspiration Angelique.

MATERIALS USED:
– CC Burlap by the yard (Rustic)
– CC Saggy Baggy- Natural Canvas – Cup (2)
– CC Cord- Jute Balls Natural 225′

– CC Tags & Ties Skinny – Chalkstock (5)
– 7Gypsies Trinkets – Old Kitchen Gadgets
– Magnetic board

STEP 1

The first step consists in setting up our burlap on our magnetic board. Go ahead and use an iron to get any wrinkles out!

STEP 2

Flip your board over and measure out burlap to fit. Adhere then with hot glue gun.

STEP 3
Measure out some cord to fit across the front of the board, and then adhere that on the backside with hot glue, as well. This one will allow to hang on photos, messages, notes, etc.

STEP 4

We are going to stick our saggy baggys, one in each corner, always with our hot glue gun. These baggys shall serve to tidy up our mails to sort out and to send. We can also think of putting invoices to be paid.

STEP 5

The last step one will consist in creating magnets thanks to various embellishments. I used the news 7gyspies Architextures (Trinkets – Old Kitchen Gadgets) on the theme of the cooking (kitchen) to create it.

Once you have all your magnets created you are done!

Go ahead and hang photos, memos, calendars, and anything else you want displayed on your magnetic board. Not only will it look great with your décor, but it can help you stay focused and organized!
