Magnetic Tile Wall Board

When my daughter was born, I wanted to create a piece of art that would hang in her room. My goal was to create something modular that could be added to over time both by family members and her. As she gets older and her interests change, we can design and build new tiles to match and remove older ones.

The board consists of steel sheets with a wood frame with 4x4in squares. The tiles magnet into place. The magnets sit in a narrow bar on the back of each tile to allow the top or bottom of a tile to be pushed inwards to disconnect it from the back of the board.

We have had a lot of fun creating this twist on a quilting project!
