My son is really into the ABC's right now and he really like playing with his magnet letters on the magnet board he has in his playroom. So one day while we were playing with the letters the thought came to me, you need to find a portable magnet board for church!! And that's when the gears started turning and this was born. Would you like to make your own, I will show you, it's super easy!
Supplies:
Metal
Travel Wipes Container
Glue Gun
Fabric
Ribbon
Lets Get started:
First of all you need to cut your metal, I have an AWESOME dad who is nice enough to get me metal anytime I want, and the best part he cuts it to whatever size I need, saves me some time, thanks dad. So I had dad cut my metal 3 1/2 by 8 and then we rounded the corners just a bit to make it fit nice and snug. I tried a few different kinds of glue to get the metal to stick really good to the plastic and hot glue definitely works the best.
After I had my metal all glued in I just covered the outside with some fabric, if you don't know how to do this step just Google covered wipes case and you will find a ton of tutorials that will help you.
That's it!
Well almost we just need to put our letters in and let the little ones enjoy!
In case your wondering, yes all of the letters fit in here and yes it will still close nice and tight!!
Perfect for throwing in your bag, and hopefully it will keeps the kiddos entertained for awhile.
