Magnets, Cookie sheets and Painting Tip

I made all of these awesome magnets and it ended up being WAY too many for the refrigerator (couldn’t help it, they were so cheap to make) and so I decided some of them should go in the craft room…I’m always losing patterns and pieces of thread…the problem is, I don’t have a magnetic board in there, however, I do have a nasty old cookie sheet that’ll never come clean that I’d never dare to cook on…so, what’s a girl to do but paint it and hang it as a magnet board.

The before: Gross, right?

Why yes, that is an old shower curtain used as a drop cloth

Now, the problem with that is that spray paint drips down, hangs out and dries in a nasty little puddle that I can never seem to straighten out, so a great little tip is use old cleaned out in cans to prop up whatever your painting. I used it for this simple project but I’ve also used it to paint much bigger stuff like bookshelves and end tables. With bigger items just use more cans. :)

Use tin cans to prop up whatever you’re painting

And our finished project looks like….

Definitely not the best photo… :)
