How to make a Magnetic Backsplash!

I’m almost done with the playroom storage wall.  I finished the craft area today and thought I’d show you how to make a magnetic backsplash.

I wanted the whole back splash to hold magnets so I cut some sheet metal to fit and attached it with liquid nails.  (I got it from Home Depot in the air duct section.  Lowe’s had aluminum which doesn’t hold magnets so if you’re planning a project like this make sure of what you are buying.  The Home Depot pieces were like 24×32 for $8 each.  I had to use 2 pieces and cut them to size with tin snips.)

I painted some wood strips black and glued them on to create a frame.  I covered the sheet metal with some whiteboard and chalkboard vinyl.  Then added some cork board for fun.

    That is really cool. You need to host a how to show on HGTV. Very inspiring. MY backsplash is almost done-we're doing a wall a day. Last one is tonite. Thansk again for your help.Leslie

  4. Sandra I love this! I need to do something similar in my kitchen to get myself more organized, I've been thinking of making a calendar/organization type of area, this gives me some great ideas…
