DIY Message Center / Magnet Board - Perfect for Teen Rooms

If you have a teenager chances are their walls are covered with photos, cards, notes..etc.

Here's a simple & fun project that will help them de-clutter their walls while adding a pop of style and color.

These magnet boards were created with baking tins.  Yes, baking tins!  You can grab inexpensive ones at Wal-Mart, Albertsons, etc...(usually less than $5.00).  Spray them using metallic spray paint (available at craft and hardware stores) in the color (or colors) of your choice and use wall-hanging adhesive on the back to hang them (like command strips).   You can also spray them with chalkboard paint and turn it into a message center / magnet board!

...and the best part?  Making magnets!  You can get packages of magnets (or strips) at local craft stores and attach them to anything (calendars, photos, greeting card cut-outs, etc..as long as they aren't too heavy).

I love picking up scrapbook embellishments (like pop bottle tops, flowers, buttons, etc..) and gluing magnets to them.
