I love Martha Stewart.
I think she is a crafting, cooking, entertaining, home decorating genius.
So, let me just tell you how thrilled I am to be sharing a post featuring
My box of goodies arrived in the mail,
and my wheels started spinning.
I wanted to share something that was “Martha – Worthy.”
I hope Martha likes this Burlap Magnet Board.
Because, I sure know that I like Martha Stewart’s Decoupage products 🙂
So here is how to make a burlap magnet board!
Supplies:
Martha Stewart Multi-Surface Matte Decoupage
Martha Stewart Espresso Wood Stain
Martha Stewart Satin Paint – Spring Pasture
Martha Stewart Decoupage Papers – Birds
Martha Stewart Decoupage Brushes – you’re going to want these brushes…
…they put the foam brushes to shame.
All of the Martha Stewart Decoupage products are available at Michaels.
Other Supplies:
1 (12 x 24) metal sheet from the hardware store
piece of burlap about 1 inch larger than the metal sheet
2 clothespins
2 magnets
ribbon
hot glue
To prepare the metal sheet:
1. Sand the corners with coarse sandpaper to remove the sharp edges.
2. Measure 1″ from the top and 4″ from each edge and mark with a Sharpie.
3. Place scrap wood under the metal and
hammer a large nail through to create a hole.
4. Turn the metal over and hammer down the rough edge
where the nail came through.
5. Clean the metal with rubbing alcohol.
Martha told me to do that when I read the directions about decoupaging to metal 🙂
Working is small sections,
add decoupage medium to the metal and to the burlap.
Stick together as you go.
And, can I just share with you that Martha further impressed me
with these products.
First of all, this Martha Stewart Decoupage can be used on
metal, wood, glass and ceramic!
{And, it’s dishwasher safe.}
See what I mean – Martha is a crafting genius!
Another point of genius –
The large brush fits PERFECTLY into the decoupage jar?!
I didn’t even have to pour the decoupage into a bowl!
I just worked straight from the jar.
This just further confirms my feelings of crafting genius towards her.
After the decoupage dries, wrap the extra burlap around the edges and
hot glue to the back.
Use the nail to recreate the original hole and add ribbon for the hanger.
Using the Martha Stewart Wood Stain, I painted the stain onto the wood ovals and wiped off to reveal this beautiful finish.
Then, I painted polka dots around the edges
using the craft paint.
I hot glued the magnet to the clothespin and the clothespin to the oval.
Now I have a magnet clip for my notes.
I applied a thin coat of the decoupage to the wooden oval, and another thin layer to the leaves.
I placed the leaves on the wooden oval and added 2 thin coats to the top.
Martha explains all of this perfectly in her directions.
The finish was perfect!
I can’t decide if it was the decoupage paper…
…the decoupage medium…
…the decoupage brushes…
…or a combination of the 3 that created such a perfect finish!
I made another magnet with this sweet little bird.
These clothespin magnets are perfect for reminders!
As a finishing touch to the magnet board,
I decoupaged a large bird in the corner.
Again, I added decoupage to the paper and to the burlap.
The bird adhered beautifully to the burlap!
Then, I added a final coat over the entire board.
Martha Stewart Decoupage products were just perfect for creating this
Burlap Magnet Board!

Love this, Melissa! Thanks for the instructions!
I adore this idea! The magnetic clips are genius.
Its very elegant!
Wow! I love how this came out and the birds are so very sweet! x
Love that project. The birds really captured my attention before I read what it was about.
I have to say that whatever MS products I’ve ever used they are quality products. Don’t worry when I buy her products whether they’ll be worth a little extra. Getting so I really like her paint. I get it when it’s on sale at Michaels or with a coupon. I bought a stencil pkg. also and love it.
Love how you made that board, very nice with the magnets and bird in the corner. Nice to know her decoupage glue sticks to burlap. Not too much does.
Lucky you getting products for free. Should I start a blog? Just kidding. Happy days
Oh, I love it! I’ve been thinking of using sheet metal like that to make a magnet board. Ill be on the hunt this weekend now!

I think you solved my problem for me!
I have been looking all over; I want a magnet board but I want it to be linen, and yet linen is always a pinable board. Now I know how have what I want!
How much did the metal piece cost? And where do you find the decopage for metal?
The metal piece was less than $5 at Lowes. As for the decoupage, the Martha Stewart all purpose decoupage works on metal! It is available at Michaels. Good luck with your magnet board!
