picture frame to magnet board redo.

This to....

 THIS!

I have been wanting an big magnet board for years.  But am too cheap to buy a huge expensive one.  So I just waited....
I found this in August for $3.  i was so excited because I knew this has potential to be "the one".


 So after some research on some options for it to become magnetized, I got small metal sheets from Lowes and hot glued them to the picture...
which was just a big poster, not an original ;)
 I put it in place but i didn't like that it was so "metal"

 I grabbed some old sheet music that I found at a local antique store...
And I modge podged it on the metal. 
 I did 1 layer to cover it all and then I ripped the sheets into 3's and then sparatically modge podged them on top of that.
 And there you go! 
I love love LOVE how it turned out.  Plus, I love the vintage frame with it's green velvet. 


 My son likes it too ;)

It is now in it's spot above the dresser and I love it!

  5. That's a great way to use the magnet sheets! Did you have to cut them down, or was it just pure luck that they fit exactly? :) I love the final project- super cute!
