How to Create an Enamelware Magnet Board with a Chippy Easel
This beautiful chippy easel is only the beginning of this easy DIY project.
I began with a broken trellis that was the core of the chippy ladder project as well as the framing on several other magnet and bulletin boards I created when I had a shop.
As you're reading through this post please pay attention to the bold blue links that will take you to more information and the products I used for this project. Also the READ MORE sections will take you to related Homeroad projects.
The easel was an easy build, 3 pieces of chippy wood, my new nail gun
and I was finished.
I used a vinegar and steel wool solution to give the chippy wood an aged look even on the newly cut edges.
Vintage enamelware storage box lids make perfect magnetic surfaces for
the DIY Scrabble magnets.
The key hole escutcheons come from
D Lawless Hardware.
The metal lids sit easily into the channel in the chippy easel.
This was such an easy and adorable project, I made several for my shop.
