teacher magnetic board {tutorial}

This {back to school} teacher gift was so easy!
I shared it over on Lil’ Luna a few weeks ago,
but if you missed it here it is again.

To make this I ordered a kit

from Finger Snapper {a new daily deal craft site}

or you could easily make your own.
The wood block measures 8 x 1 x 3.5 inches
and the sheet metal measures 8 x 7 inches. 

A slit is cut into the wood block about a 1/2 inch deep.
You just slide your sheet metal into that groove,
& it makes a super cute magnet board.

 

 

To dress up my sheet metal a little I grabbed a piece of back to school scrapbook paper.

I traced my sheet metal on the back & then cut it out just smaller than my lines.

 

 

After I finished cutting the paper to the right size,

I used Elmer's spray adhesive to glue the paper to the sheet metal.

 

 

I painted my wood block a matching color & then waited for it to dry.

I added some vinyl lettering in the smiley monster font.

 

 

Then I just slid the sheet metal into the slot.

I put on a few magnets.  That's it.

I really think it turned out cute! 

 

I think her teacher will LOVE it!
