So we go the great resource available to us - the internet and google - and search for chore charts. Alot of them were great creations, but nothing really cried out to me. I did combine the parts that i liked to create our chore chart.
I didn't take pictures along the way, but i do have the finish product.
In order to create this chore chart you will need the following:
12 x 18 sheet of metal (Lowes - $4.99)
12 x 18 frame (Discounted from Micheals)
1 12 x 12 and 12 x 6 scrapbook paper (to cover the metal)
i-top tool
i-top magnet daddies - medium size
i-top medium die cut
Coordinating paper for i-top magnets
tags
Coordinating ribbons
Coordinating sticker abc's
Spray adhesive
1. Spray the metal with your adhesive and cover with your 12 x12 and 12x6 paper. Be careful when placing the paper down, as the adhesive dries quickly.
2. Punch out your i-top covers. You will make as many magnets as need for your chores in your house, we did 10 total.
3. Use your i-top tool to cover the top of the magnet. Before you attach the bottom, place your tag in between the top and bottom of the daddy, and then attached the two pieces. You will use this tag to write your chores on it.
4. Use ribbon to create a "T" chart. use the stickers to write the names above the "T". One side of the "T" will be for "to do's" and the other "done".
5. Take the glass out of the frame and place the metal inside. it will be very snug so you have to play with it to get it in.
6. Place magnets on board and assign the chores and your done.
Super cute, super easy and it only cost me $20. I used a paper kit from QuickQuotes ($0), Metal was from Lowe's ($5), the Frame was discounted from $45 to $10 plus 40% coupon at Micheal's ($6) and the i-top magnet daddies were $4 and we purchased 2 of them.
