Magnetic Art Easel

post from IKEA Hackers on 04 January 2012 06:34:22 PM. © IKEA Hackers

Materials: MALA Easel

Description: Just because IKEA discontinued the magnetic art easel, doesn't mean your child can't have one.

We bought the easel hoping to create an interactive way to teach our child letters and spelling.

We used painters tape up the edges of the easel, painted on 3 coats of the magnetic paint we purchased at a local Home Depot and TA-DA.. magnetic board!

Frosted Ramvik

post from IKEA Hackers on 04 January 2012 04:34:33 PM. © IKEA Hackers

Materials: Ramvik Coffee Table, Frosted Privacy Window Film

Description: I was about ready to replace my Ramvik coffee table today. When it's clean, it's an awesome looking piece and I love having such large drawers. My problem is that it only stays clean for about an hour. Dog hair and dust likes to gather under the glass and it's nearly impossible to get it completely clean.

The hack is simple:

-Go to your favorite hardware store and pick up a roll of frosted privacy window film and installation kit. This shouldn't run more than $25 even if you get the huge roll.

-Clean the backside of the glass really well

-Apply the film according to the directions

-Enjoy your much cleaner (and in my opinion, better) looking coffee table!

How to Calculate How Many Calories You Need to
Eat to Lose Weight

The key to fat loss is first figuring out how many calories you should be taking in each day. Many people skip right over this step and jump straight into ?eating healthy? but if you have no idea how many calories you should be eating, how can you ensure you are feeding your body what it needs to function and in turn will allow you to lose the fat you want to shed? Missing this part of the process is what most often causes the dreaded plateau, aka the "fat loss brick wall". So do yourself one huge favor and take a few minutes to do some quick calculations.

Super-Cool Lego and Train Table

Materials: LACK large coffee table, LILLABO train set, Lego Base plate, wood glue and puddy, drill with 1/8in bit, miter box, saw, screw driver, sandpaper, 12 #8 2.5 in screws, 2- 8ft 1x2in wood, paint, spray lacquer, painters tape, newspaper

Description: 1- Cut wood with miter box and saw to fit table top exactly. Sand smooth.
2- Sand table top of LACK table and paint with several coats of green paint.
3-Once paint is dry, sketch the design of the table that you'd like. I used a spice bottle and paperclip box to mark out the helicopter pad and landing strip. The wood was the perfect width to trace for the roads. Remember to leave at least 3 inches around the border so that you can have the train go around the edges. I used painters tape to block it off. Also, enough room for your Lego base plate!
