Burner Covers to project

The possibilities are endless for this next craft project.  This one can be used for yourself or for your kids.    

All you need to make this magnetic/chalk board is

• burner covers -you can get a 2 pack at the dollar tree
• chalkboard paint-I had some left over from another project but don't worry if you don't have any.  You can cover this in fabric, or scrapbook paper as well and use it as a magnetic board only.
• Magnets-You probably have tons of magnets but none of mine were decorative.  All of mine had my doctor or dentist phone number on them or the local pizza place.  I purchased some glass gems at Dollar Tree and some magnetic buttons to attach to the gems to make some decorative magnets.

Total cost of project by using leftover chalkboard paint and making my own decorative magnets=$4.00 made me 2 boards. 

If  you used your own magnets and covered the board in paper or fabric that you already have then cost to make 2 boards is $1.00

 Here are the burner covers from dollar tree (2 in pack)

Here are the glass gems that I purchased from Dollar Tree to make some magnets

Magnetic buttons from Walmart that I attached to the back of the gems to make decorative magnets.

 

I painted the burner cover with chalkboard paint.

Here is what it looks like after 1 coat of chalkboard paint.

Here is what it looks like after the 2nd application of chalkboard paint.  Now its all ready to use.

I attached a ribbon to the back of the burner to hang or so that the kids can carry it around. 

Extra magnets can be stored on the back of the burners. 

If you decided to put fabric or scrapbook then this is what it could look like.

Preston loves spelling his sight words on the board and can even take it in the car.
