Cheap, Easy, DIY chore charts




Magnetic Chore Charts












Super easy folks!
1. Buy cookie sheets from dollar store

2. Spray Paint black (or any color you choose--you could even Modge Podge scrapbook paper on it if you want to get all fancy-like...) & let dry.

3. Scroll through the fonts on your computer (I used Word) and find your favorite font. Type the words you want to use ("to do", "done", etc.). Enlarge them to the size you want them on the finished project & print it out.

4. Use craft paint of choice & small, stiff brush and paint the words as you see them on your paper.

5. Done--yep, that's it folks, fast & easy!


Here is the final product:



* We just nailed them to our wall and touched up the nail with the black paint so it doesn't show. And yes, using a ruler may be wise so you don't end up with crooked lines like me ;)




***With these chore charts, we use the most adorable wooden chore magnets found here:    http://www.etsy.com/shop/AbbiesHouse   --She has chore magnets for every chore you can imagine & so reasonably priced too--we love them!



~~You could make your own chore magnets out of those cute metal bottle tops (with stickers on top), or really anything you can imagine and stick a magnet to; I chose to buy mine from AbbiesHouse  because it was cheaper than just the cost of any plain magnets I could find, and are super cute too!
