I loved their Joy signs SO much…but I wanted some thing I could use year round! So this is what I made!
Here is some pictures you might find helpful in understanding how I put these together…
First I painted and distressed every thing! The Scrolly pattern I just painted on with a paint marker! The boards have coats of magnetic primer under the cream paint. Let me tell you that magnetic paint it not so awesome! I gave them 5 coats and I STILL had to use STRONG magnets on these! So here is all the pieces…now…
I screwed a screw into the unpainted end of the “plug” I made from a slice of a dowel rod…
Then screwed the plug into the marked middle of my board. Now all you have to do is pop it into a candle holder…like so…
You can glue this in if you want it permanent…I, loving change, did not.
Screw in your finial and your good to go!
You can put pictures on them!! Or….this is why I made mine magnetic….
You can pop any thing under the magnet for all seasons and holidays! This is what I will be keeping on here for Easter!
The Easter Greeting from Lion Coffee and the Easter cross I printed off of The Graphics Fairy…The picture of eggs I got from Cora at Heart Felt and Homemade !

Adorable! I have been wanting to make some of these ever since I saw the Shanty girls make them. You gave me new inspiration!
They look fabulous! Great tute! I have used the magnetic paint also. I find it takes MANY coats. I think mine didn't too so well, cause I didn't "roll" it. (that's what mine recommended)
good luck in my giveaway!

These are great! Maybe a bit more work than I'll do...but, I love them.
Oh yeah! Magnetic is way to go! I like yours better than the Shanty girls, but don't tell them that:)
Goodness! These are adorable... I need to make some! Thanks for linking up to the Power of Paint Party!
What a clever idea! Great inspirations.
OH!!! I love these!! I made the JOY plaques but I might have to do something like this. What a great idea!
Very cute! I love the scrolls you painted! I'd have to use rub-ons because I am not artistic in any way.
What a wonderful project!! They turned out so fabulous, I really like how you did these in white! Thanks so much for linking this one up today for "Brag Monday".
So cute! Don't forget to link them up with Talented Tuesday at My Frugal Family!
I stumbled upon your blog while doing some blogstalking this morning.
I remember seeing those on Shanty's site a few months back. I love how you made them for displaying them all year round.
