A Corrugated Metal Project Challenge
Todays challenge was to make a project using a piece of corrugated metal.
Coming up with a project was the easy part, spelling corrugated ... not so easy!
Welcome to the July Project Challenge where 6 DIYers are creating a project using corrugated metal!
I began my project by attaching 2 boards together to use as my backing piece then giving it a white wash using milk paint.
I drilled holes in all four sides of the corrugated metal and a small chalkboard then screwed them to the white washed board.
I made magnets using small strong magnets attached to vintage Bingo pieces.
The next step was to add a ledge for chalk using a small piece of a Scrabble shelf that I painted red and dark waxed to match the red in the Bingo pieces.
I put a hanger on the back and my corrugated project is the perfect little memo board for the kitchen or entry way.
For sale at the shop and craft fairs, I added a string with a chalk pouch.

I LOVE this! Can I ask if you can buy small pieces of corrugated metal like that somewhere or did you have a big piece that you cut down?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jill... I find most of my pieces from garage sales, thrift stores, etc... sometimes I take apart found items and keep the pieces.
DeleteYour project is just so cute! The wash on the wood really makes it look like reclaimed wood, which I love! Painting the chalk holder to match your magnets was such a great touch too!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lisa!
DeleteI love this Susan, the metal is rusty and crusty perfection! And the scrabble holder for the chalk--so smart!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky! I use the Scrabble tile holders all the time and it is time to find some more!
DeleteLove it! Super cute and practical, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Audra!
DeleteI LOVE this project!! I love that you made bingo magnets and that chalk holder? So clever! Now I know what to do with all the ones I have left over from making scrabble magnets. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Michele! I love the little magnets too... thanks for visiting :)
DeleteVery cool project!
