Fashionable magnet board and magnets!!

Take the traditional popular magnet board and dress it up a bit.

It also makes for great home decor that is practical and functional.

This is the one I just had to make for myself......after making one for my mom for her birthday. 

I love how they both turned out.

I found this fabric last summer at Ikea. I used a left over piece of fabric that I had to cover my board. 

Here is the board I made for my mom for her birthday.

Again, this fabric was leftover from a previous project. 

I had just enough for this and it was just so perfect for my mom.  She has already hung it up in her kitchen!!

And this is why it was so perfect for her. 

 I printed out pictures of her grandkids and gave her a great way to show off the kids she loves so much :)

I even made personalized magnets for her, with the names of all the grandkids.
