This week I was asked to create a little ‘favor’ for a group of women that were getting together for a Mother’s Day dinner. I immediately thought…MAGNET BOARD….because well, those are the types of favors that can be CUTE and USEABLE. {Not a fan of favors that are just. cute.} Plus…I’ve never actually ‘created’ my own type of magnet board before so I looked at it as a new crafting adventure!
I went to went to Home Depot to check into getting some sheet metal cut for me to use as the base and I was shocked at just how much sheet metal cost! Who knew?! I then decided to scour over the Dollar Tree and see what else might work…for hopefully much, much less.
I stumbled upon a treasure.
And here’s how the rest went down…..
And that is IT!
Magnets stick PERFECTLY onto these trays… which could also hold notes, recipes… the possibilities are endless!
I should mention also, that I scored the silver easels to set them on ALSO at the Dollar store.
Double score.
Mother’s Day is just a week away. Is it too early to start leaving my husband hints as to what I’d like???

I made these today with my beehive class so they could give them as a Mother's Day gift and they turned out AMAZING!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing this idea, your the best. I doesn't hurt that you like an ice cold diet DP for breakfast, your a girl after my own heart. 🙂 I also made one with my daughters who are 12 & 14 to hang on there doors so we could leave notes for each other my 14 yr old said you'll probably just leave a note to clean my room but, I really wanted them so I could leave one of these on their door at night http://www.cometogetherkids.com/2012/01/you-made-my-heart-happy-message-and.html
