Owl Punch Goes Back to School: Part 3

Hopefully you are enjoying projects with the new Two Step Owl Punch as much as I am. Here is one more project using this great new tool. I apologize for the not so great quality of the photo. This is way cuter in person. Anywhoo (lol) this is actually a magnetic board that measures 5 1/2" x 7 1/2". Great teacher gift!

Here is roughly how to make one yourself.

Start with a 5" x 7" piece of steel (not aluminum) step flashing. You'll find this in the roofing department of any hardware store. Here is a picture of what your looking for.

Even better this package containing 10 sheets was less than $3. I picked mine up at Lowe's.

Once you have your step flashing cut two pieces of cardstock or DSP to 5 1/2" x 7 1/2". Place adhesive all around the outer edge of one piece of cardstock/DSP. Lay the metal in the center and then place the second piece of cardstock/DSP over top, creating a sandwhich of paper/metal/paper.

From here you can decorate anyway you like. I chose to use the Corner Rounder, ad a couple of deocrative strips of cardstock and the super cute Two Step Owl. I finished off the project by using the Crop-a-dail to add two jumbo eyelets and some 3/8" twill tape as a hanger.

I still need to come up with some cute magnets to go along with it, then I'll have the perfect little teacher gift.

Give this a try it's super simple and fast.

did you use the corner punch through the flashing as well or just the paper?

Just the paper. A regular corner rounder won't go through metal, but the Crop-a-dial folks make something called a corner chomper and it will go through the metal.
