I’m sure everyone has seen all of the awesome Chore Charts on Pinterest and I have friends who have made just gorgeous ones! But I just wanted something practical- that my boys would find fun- and that looked cute enough to display… cause let’s face it.. I’m a girl trying to survive in a boy world! So I gathered any and all things that I could possibly use on hand and got to work!
After Haven I was contacted by the representative that was there for 3M and they asked if I needed any products for upcoming projects… ummm… YES! Love 3M- so many different products and their tape rocks! The spot where I need to hang the Chore Chart had previously had some hooks on it so I needed to patch those holes first so she also sent me the 3M Patch and Fill- which is so nice because it is a filler and primer so you can just paint over it with your wall color once it’s dry- no priming. I love something that eliminates a step for me.
My next step was taping off lines on the magnetic boards I bought at Target- I used the 3M Scotch Blue Tape and then painted stripes in my new Annie Sloan yellow and a pretty blue.
This was impressive to me- there wasn’t a messy spot on the line after I pulled up the 3M Tape! And also no tape residue~
Once I had my lines done, I let the boys stamp their names on the top and then on one side put ‘To Do’ and the other side put ‘Done’. This was the part I had to relinquish my perfectionist attitude about because I wanted them to feel involved:)
The little magnets that they helped me with are just clear stones with mod podged pictures on them with magnets hot glued to the backs. I’m pretty sure the gluing was their favorite part of the whole project!
And I tell you what… they did every single chore on them so that they could move their magnets to the Done column! Even brushed their teeth an extra time:)
We are going to hang them up tomorrow but here is the finished product- sorry- blurred out the boy’s names for privacy… wouldn’t want the paparazzi to start stalking them!
3M did not sponsor this post but did provide some products- but all views and opinions were my own after using the products.
Have a great week!

Great post Bee! Do I need to sand the wall patching stuff after I put it on the walls?
Thanks! You know on one bigger hole I did sand just a little bit after putting on the patch- but on the smaller one I didn’t even need to! So must just depend on how much product you are needing to use.
