congrats on actually do it! I know i have a list of things Id like to have and never do it! Its really cute! I love magnets, but Im scared of the magnetic paint because of chipping, this is better!

and its inexpensive
Its an oil drip pan- bought it at Wal-mart for $11.50.
I am going to make one too, I'm glad yours turned out great!
We made paint, and sidewalk chalk paint today from my pins. The sidewalk paint was a ton of fun, I'll have to put up some pictures. I think they liked that more than the chalk.

You did an awesome job!! Love it!
Thanks
Well the Pin says they just used 3M velcro stripes, but the oil pan from
Wal-Mart was bigger than the auto zone one & the 3M didn't work.
So I used drywall screws & washers to secure it. My DH is out of town for the week so when he gets home I am going to see if he can come up with a better way. I'm thinking there has to be some sort of bracket that is better than the washer.

Cool! I just came home from looking for a metal oil drip pan. Couldn't find one anywhere. Found lots of plastic ones though.

this is already on my "to do" list and I know the kids will love it!

I just did this too about 2 weeks ago. I also painted it with chalkboard paint and now it's a magnetic chalkboard.
I did use the 3M strips to hang mine. Well it wasn't really 3M it was an off brand that I found at walmart that was about an inch wide and I put two down the lenght of the oil pan and then stuck it to the wall and it has held up great so far.

looks great!!
my "hurricane irene" project was spray painting a piece of sheet metal with chalkboard paint and framing it and hanging it on the wall in my playroom. I don't think I have a pic of it though. I am not thrilled with its "chalkboard-ness" but I love it as a magnetic board and the black paint with the wood frame blends into my decor rather nicely so I'm happy with it.

I just had to gouge several of those strips out of my wall with a knife and fill in the holes so I could paint. They didn't come off like they are suppose to and it caused a huge headache for me. Just an FYI. I'll never use them again. Nothing and I mean nothing that I tried would take the adhesive off the wall. I know how to remove all the paint down to the plaster and leave the adhesive though if anyone is wondering.
Your project looks awesome!!!! This one is on my list.
