AW: magnetic chalkboard!!
I made this for my cousin's 10th birthday. I made the chalkboard paint, made the Justin cards into magnets, and I also made the jewel hearts into magnets. estimated cost less than $15!
By far the coolest thing I have EVER made!!!!

Re: AW: magnetic chalkboard!!
I like.
Could you post the link on how to make your own paint, if you don't mind? I love to try things like this but hate to spend a lot of money on the paint if I can make it myself and color it how I want.
the paint was really easy. 1 cup of latex paint (flat or satin) I used an "Oops" sample from Lowes it's the perfect amount and it only cost $.50!! 2 Tbsp non-sanded grout mix well and paint. make sure your surface ( I used a cookie sheet) is primer, or already painted. sand lightly w/ 150 grit sandpaper when dry and 'season' by rubbing chalk and wiping it away.
She was so stoked with the Bieber magnets, she didn't realize it was a chalkboard! Once she realized that was why she got a box of chalk, she thought it was great!
lol, I LOOOOOVE pinterest for that exact reason!
I'm so glad you ladies liked it!
Thanks
