Magnet Board Free Instruction Sheet 1.0
**We carry 3 different finishes of magnetic metal sheets. Galvanized is shiny silver, perfect for projects where the metal shows, like mod-podge, rub-on, or decal boards. Paint Lock is pre-primed, and recommended for painted boards, or fabric covered boards, and Cold Rolled, a darker matte finish, for a more sophisticated look.
Mod-Podge Magnet board: Pick your favorite paper or fabric, and use modpodge to create your custom board.
Fabric Board: Cut a piece of fabric 4” larger than your piece of metal. Coat the Paint Lock metal with a spray adhesive. Super 77 is a good adhesive with a strong bond. Press your favorite fabric onto the adhesive coated board, carefully smoothing it out as you go, (try to keep it centered, but don’t worry if it is a bit crooked.) Wrap the extra fabric around the back, and tape it down. Finish by putting your new magnet board into your favorite frame.
Painted Board: You can use Ceramcoat craft paint and foam brushes, or, for a smoother, more even finish, use spray paint. The spray enamel in our model car section works well. Tape off stripes, use stencils, or make your own pattern to personalize. Make sure you let each coat dry when changing colors, or stencils.
To make holes, you can use a regular power drill. Drill a smaller pilot hole, then a larger drill bit to make the hole the size you need. Finish with eyelets or grommets, and tie a hanger through the hole using ribbon, rope, or cord.
Magnets: Glue glass to paper or fabric, then glue the magnet to the back, or pick your favorite

Magnets: Glue glass to paper or fabric, then glue the magnet to the back, or pick your favorite
button or bottle cap, and glue magnet to the back. (hint ** glue glass to paper and wait for glue to dry before cutting out. It's really hard to cut out an exact piece and glue it on, but easy to cut around the glass after it's glued on and dry)
