Cutting the metal to size was the hardest part of this project. Yes, she cut each one by hand.
She then covered the sheet metal with what she had on hand - fabric, contact paper and scrapbook paper.
The frames she had collected over time. They were each painted to coordinate with the colorful boards. Never pass up a good frame at a good price. There is just so much you can do with them!
She added ribbon on the one below where she had to piece the scrapbook paper - clever girl!
And she turned some vintage buttons into magnets.
This project was fun, thrifty and functional - just the way Karla likes it!

She cut them by hand?? Makes my arm ache just thinking about it :) I've seen those steel-cutting scissor-thingies at my metal shop but never thought about using them!
Oh my goodness!! These are all so fun! I love all the colors and fabrics she chose - those little button magnets are perfect!!
I love this project! Can't wait to try it.

Great message boards and great fabric choices.

Love them all, Sharon! I did a couple myself, but just used foam board because I had it on hand. I never pass up an inexpensive frame. I may have it for awhile, but I eventually do something with it!
oooooooooooh, I love these!!!
