- 4 sheets of peel-n-stick wallpaper (Dollar Tree) or contact paper
- large scrap cardboard piece

- tape
Tools
- ruler
- Sharpie marker

- large cutting mat
Instructions
- Watch the video. Follow along with the video tutorial for a step-by-step walkthrough of how to make your own magnetic board.
- Measure a piece of cardboard. Use a metal ruler and Sharpie marker to measure out a 17" x 20" piece.
- Cut out frame base. Use a pen blade or heavy duty craft scissors to cut out the measured cardboard piece. Make an additional square inside to make a frame. Cut it out as well.
- Measure wallpaper. Watch the video to see how I cut the wallpaper sheets down to size to cover the frame.
- Attach wallpaper. Peel off the backing and attach the sheets, ensuring the ends line up and that it's "married up" and attached on the back.
- Attached printed poster. Turn the frame over and attach the printed poster using small pieces of tape.
