Cut Particle Board and Flashing
Cut particle board shelving to desired length of magnetic board. Tip: Keep overall length less than 36 inches for ease of building. Add two inches to overall length of particle board shelving and mark flashing to this length. Cut flashing with tin snips.

Make Ledges, Shelves and Backsplashes
Now that you have the basic process mastered, you can create a multitude of magnetic kitchen items. Using tin snips, cut metal flashing to desired length. Drill two holes in back of flashing and screw directly to wall. For longer shelves, drill holes and attach every 24 inches to wall. Tip: Magnetic accessories including hooks, canisters, clips and holders are readily available. To make a non-magnetic accessory magnetic, simply glue magnetic tape to the back.
