Chalkboard/Magnetic Board Tutorial - Teacher Appreciation Gift Idea

Hi everyone!! I shared this fun project over at Brassy Apple a couple weeks ago, and wanted to post it here for our archives. 

An easy DIY Chalkboard/Magnetic Board
Perfect for a Teacher Appreciation Gift.

First Gather Your Supplies:

Please note: everything is not shown

Metal Cookie Sheet

Chalkboard Spray Paint

Painters Tape

Two BIG Binder Clips

Ribbon

Optional:

Patterned Paper/Embellishments

Adhesive (I used glue dots)

Cover Button Kit
Magnets
Scraps of Fabric
Chalkboard Pen 

Chocolates

Let's get started!!

Tape the sides of your cookie sheet, and apply the chalkboard spray paint as directed. I only did one coat, because I'm a wee bit impatient (wink wink).

While that's drying, make buttons using the kit with the scraps of fabric. Make as directed. This was my first time and it's SO easy!! I see lots of custom buttons in my future! Adhere a magnet to the back, for a fun coordinating magnet.

Adhere coordinating patterned paper and any other embellishments you want to the cookie sheet

Use fun "school theme" quotes

Use the binder clips and ribbon as shown

The finished project!

If you're gifting this, I would suggest adding a chalkboard pen, and hey throw in a bag of chocolates or candies, because it's just nice :)

And there you have it! Have fun with it by personalizing it using certain school colors, and/or the school mascot. The possibilities are endless, and that's what makes this project so fun!

The following are a couple different teacher appreciation gifts I made and shared.
