New use for cookie sheets!




Tools:

  • Non-aluminum cookie sheet
  • Scissors
  • Ruler
  • Self-adhesive shelf liner (I got mine from the Dollar Tree) 
  • Empty can aka pencil holder
  • Magnets - The stronger the better
  • Hot glue
  • Drill &/or large nail and hammer
  • Jute
Measure the side of the cookie sheet you want to use and cut it an inch wider and an inch taller than the sheet itself. Stick the shelf liner to the cookie sheet - peel it off slow and smooth over the cookies sheet avoiding bubbles. Cut away the excess liner.  The pencil holder is done the same way. Cut the liner taller than the can, wrap the liner around so it overlaps a little then cut off the excess. Hot glue your heavy duty magnet to the can. Your new message board is almost done! To make holes for hanging, place the sheet in your husbands hands and point him to the garage :) If that doesn't work you may choose to drill yourself OR you can use a hammer and a large nail - make sure you put a piece of scrap wood under your sheet to save your work space. You can choose to have one or two holes. I've used jute to hang my message board because its durable enough to hold the cookie sheet.  

*The magnets that spell out kitchen in this picture I purchased at Michaels.
