TUTORIAL: FHE BOARD

SUPPLIES:  
Wood . Vinyl . Magnet Strip . Screws . Paint . Ribbon . Wood Circles/Plant Gems . Magnets

DIRECTIONS:1. Cut wood so that it is about 7 in. x 24 in. long. 

Home Depot or Lowe's will cut it for you if you ask them.

 2. Paint Board. Let dry.
3. Add vinyl to board.
{If you need vinyl, available in Kristyn's ETSY SHOP}
4. Add magnet strip to board by screwing in on sides.
{Magnet strip can be found at IKEA for .99. It's only available in BLACK, but if you want it brown or another color, all you need to do is spray it with an enamel, let dry and add polyurethane to it so it doesn't chip.}
5. Make NAME Magnets for board either by painting wood circles and adding vinyl names on top with a magnet behind OR you can even make picture magnets with plant gems. Just cut a circle around the face you want in the magnet, and mod podge to the back of the gem and add a magnet.

6. Add ribbon or tulle to the back to hang 
 VOILA!
