My Magnetic Bulletin Board

I completely forgot to include the pictures of the magnetic frame that I made for myself.  I actually made two of them.  One is for the deck and one is for my office.  I purchased a 'barn wood' type frame in two different sizes.  This one is 36 x 24, but the one for my office at school is only 18 x 24.  Again, these were 50% at Hobby Lobby.  Ron cut the sheet metal for me and I was able to use the remnants of the foam board that I used for Meghan's frame.  I spent more time on this magnetic bulletin board than I did on Meghan's.  I purchased scrapbook paper and pieced it together.  Since I had a hard time getting the paper to stick directly to the metal, I painstakingly taped along all of the edges.  I didn't have a specific pattern in mind--I just kind of went with it.

I thought that this scrapbook paper (.30/each at Hobby Lobby) matched perfectly with the barn wood frame.  Once I was happy with the pattern and the paper was firmly secured the sheet metal, I brushed a light coat of decoupage across the front.  

Finally, I used super glue to attach magnets to the back of Scrabble letters to make fun words and sayings.  I purchased the letters on eBay.  I got 200 for $14.99.  I was surprised by how many eBay auctions for Scrabble letters there were.  Anyway, I glued close to 100 (obviously that's too many) and put them on the board.

And there you have it...Another inexpensive and fun activity to do on a long, hot summer day.
