The fun, repurposed industrial locker door memo board I hung in Luke’s room is sporting handmade, rustic wood burned wood slice magnets with outdoor symbols. Once Luke’s rustic room makeover {finally} happens, these magnets will fit well with the new theme and right now they just look really neat against the metal.
To make these simple wood burned magnets, I cut a large log into slices about half an inch thick. This log has been sitting in my garage for some time so the wood was already dry. If you’re using a piece of wood that isn’t fully dry, let the slices sit for a day or two to dry out.
When the wood slices are dry, use a wood burning tool {affiliate link} to add images. I wood burned symbols that might be found on outdoor signs since my little guy is an avid outdoorsman.
I’m not a great artist but since I was going for a rustic look, these images will work well. And my little guy thinks they’re perfect!
Once all the images are burned on …
… hot glue magnets onto the back …
… and stick them onto the magnetic locker door memo board or another magnetic surface.
Wood slice magnets are so simple to make and they look fantastic on any surface!
