Magnetic canvas art display

Image
My daughter has four year old twins who love nothing better than to give her their art work. Her refrigerator is not magnetic, so she simply cannot easily display all of their masterpieces. She looked online for solutions and found large magnetic boards at $150 each plus $40 shipping. And she wanted three of them! So we worked together to come up with an economical solution. Large artist canvas from Michael's, purchased at 40% off, three coats of magnetic paint, followed by three coats of left-over spray paint, followed by dry brushing with on-hand craft paints to coordinate with the decor of the room -- and voila, magnetic 24 x 30 art displays (larger than the online versions) at about $15 each. She now has 3 wonderful accent pieces in her office with plenty of room to display lots of artwork and papers.
