Magnetic Board

Drip Pan Magnetic Board

I was browsing through my mother-in-law’s pinterest board that she has for Izze and her cousin. Just ideas gathered from all around the internet. She had on the site, one for a large magnetic board built by using a large oil drip pan. These drip pans cost under $10 from an automotive store.

Since the wall we were putting them up was wide enough we opted for two boards. The alphabet magnets were from Toys R Us for about $4.99. To hang them on the wall, originally we were just going to drill holes and screw them on the wall but since we didn’t know where the studs were we opted for industrial strength velcro. We had some on hand and placed them at all four corners of the pan and one in the middle. It’s only been up an hour and still holding up. I would say the project cost less than $30.

I got the idea from this site, ohedeedoh, who got the idea from this site, Nic and Kate. Both are great sites, check them out.
