DIY Frame to Hide a Cookie Sheet
We've seen plenty of magnetic boards made with a cookie sheet. But what if you don't want to hang that on your wall? Well, I offer you a simple tutorial to show you how to make a beautiful frame to hide the cookie sheet. It's easy and very affordable!
To begin, take the inside dimensions of the cookie sheet. I strongly suggest taking the dimensions a little more inward than too close to the edge.
Decide the frame width you want to have. Here, I chose to make a 2-1/2 " wide frame. On the foam board, draw the frame like shown above. Using a utility knife and cutting mat, cut out the frame.
Once the frame is cut, place it on top of the cookie sheet. Measure the distance between the surface and the underside of the frame and cut strips of this width. Do the same thing for the inside of the frame.
Use the hot glue gun and assemble the frame by assembling the corners like above and cutting the strips one at a time.
Here's what it looks like once everything is assembled!
I chose Pikachu and Pokemon ( because this theme is my son's favourite one!) to decorate the frame, but you could take any paper. I photocopied a Pokemon manga that my son had and the children coloured the Pikachu in yellow with a wooden pencil to give a touch of colour. If you don't have a book at home, you can rent it from the library or do an internet search and print pages.
To decorate the frame, just brush the Mod Podge, apply the paper and add more Mod Podge over it.
Turn the frame upside down and cut out any excess of paper. Fold the rest of the paper in and glue it well with Mod Podge.
And here's the frame on the cookie sheet! Now you can see the next step I did to make this cookie sheet look even less like one and to use it as a magnetic screen time management.
