Another Year, Another Blessings Board!
Eight years ago, I did a little DIY project that I hoped would become a tradition we would keep. And I am thrilled to say that, although I’ve switched up the look of it a few times, we have had our blessings board up every fall since then. This was a very popular project with my readers way back then, and I’m curious if any of you were here for it? Here’s the post for this original one back in 2010, and here’s how it first looked!
Like I said, I’ve changed it up a few times since! Here’s a free printable version of my original one that I offered several years back. And this is another version I made in 2015…
Last year, I went with an even simpler approach with this easy DIY banner version…
And this year, I changed things up again with a magnetic version that I found at Hobby Lobby.
This time we are just using magnets and tags to add our blessings to the board!
This would be so easy as a DIY if you wanted to use sheet metal like I’ve used for magnetic boards in the past. (Click here for affiliate link) Remember this version I made for Lola’s room? So easy to make!
These blessings boards have come to be a sweet tradition for us that my kids are excited to use every year! I hope you are inspired to do one for your family too!

I love this idea, Julie! I love how you have changed it over the years. You are so creative. I can only imagine what my kids would write.

Love these. This years can even go super cheap by buying DT pizza pan the round one. They even have cute magnets even ones w/clips. I have even seen similar tags there too.

Can you share a little more information about the magnetic board you purchased @ Hobby Lobby. Was it available as displayed or did you buy something basic and get creative? I don’t see anything similar on their website but maybe only available in their stores. It would help to have a little more information before I go searching. Love the idea!

I love this! I finally found the metal board at my local Hobby Lobby. It wasn’t in the Thanksgiving stuff but with similar boards. I taped a sheet of pumpkin colored scrapbook paper behind the letters. I love it! I’ll post a photo on instagram.
