Do you have trouble organizing notes and other important papers? Well, in this issue we have a wonderful solution that will display these papers in a visually appealing manner: a magnet board made from an antique painted metal tray.
  1. Collect your materials: hot glue gun, picture-hanging fixture, and painted metal tray. The trays can be found at any antique store with a variety of different motifs.
  2. Take the metal tray and mark where on the back of the tray the picture-hanging fixture should be placed.
  3. Use the hot glue gun to affix the picture-hanging fixture to the back of the tray.
  4. Find some fun magnets, place the board on the wall, and you now have a new organizational aid.

You can even make your own magnets by mod-podging images to the back of fl at glass marbles and then affixing the marble to a magnet.
