Directions
- Measure an area in your home where you want to hang your board and purchase or re-use a board that fits there.
- Section off your board for the days of the week and the number of people in your family. We used Washi (paper) tape to do this.
- Trace around the faces of your family in the photos with the lid. Cut them out and glue them into the centre of the lid.

- We cut them out and laminated them. You could also cover then with contact paper (sandwiching then in between the 2 sticky sides).
- Peel off the back of the tape of the magnet stip. Cut it into pieces and put it on the back of the labels and juice container lids.
