Hi Everybody! Hope you all are having a nice Friday. I'm just popping in today to show you a quick project I made using a cookie sheet to make a memo board.
|
I started with this cookie sheet that I picked up at the thrift store some time ago. The short ends are raised, but there aren't any sides on the long edges. |
|
I cut a piece of fabric large enough to cover the board and slightly wrap around the back. |
|
I placed a ribbon (for hanging it) through the hole at the end and tucked it out of the way while I glued with a glue gun. |
|
I folded the edges up and glued them before bringing up the sides. |
|
This is what the back looks like all done. The ribbon is attached at the right side in this photo. All I had to do was flip it up and tie a bow and then it was ready to be hung. Here's a bit of honesty here- I had intended for this to be a magnet board. So when I finished it, I went to place a magnet on it- and it wouldn't stick. I was pretty surprised. My twelve-year-old informed me that not all cookie sheets are magnetic. All I could think was, "Where were you when I started this project?!?" :) |
|
So, I scratched my head for a moment, then thought, "Wait a minute, this can still be a memo board!" I measured and made some marks, then I got out my handy-dandy Crop-a-dile and punched some holes. |
|
I attached this elastic ribbon with brads through the holes I made. Voila! A memo board- version 2! |
|
It can hold do-dads |
|
or photos! |
Sometimes mistakes can turn out for the better! Plus I learned a lesson- check to see if something is magnetic before assuming that it is.
Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

Fantastic job improvising. It turned out great!
Hi Laura, what a cute memo board. You sound like me I get in such a hurry to do something I forget to check out everything but you were quick to find an alternative. Thanks for coming by my blog and leaving kind words about my buffet. I'm a new follower. :-)
