Karla's Memo Boards

Karla came across a stash of sheet metal at a yard sale and decided it would be perfect to make a whole batch of memo boards. I think this one is my personal favorite - love the swirly green pattern and the pretty frame!






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!
