Materials Needed To Make A DIY Magnetic Board

Scissors

How To Make A DIY Magnetic Board

1 —  Make sure you have just enough fabric laid out to cover the board with about 3 extra inches on all borders. It’s ideal to iron the fabric beforehand.

2 — Spray the back edges with glue.

Then, fold the remainder of the fabric over the back, neatly folding the corners so that no fabric hangs over the edge.

Trim any excess fabric away as well.

Now you’re all set to organize your bits and pieces into one cute place! 

I even glued magnet dots to the back of paper flowers and a sewn envelope to add a little dimension to my board.
