Step 1 - Paint the tile panel

Start by drawing the mark of the color palette you have chosen.

Step 1: Painting the Pallet Plaque Begin by painting the pallet plaque sign however you like.

I painted the palette with three different colors, leaving a natural part. Then let it dry.

I painted the pallet sign 3 different colors, leaving one section natural. Then let it dry.

Step 2: draw the table

Next, place a piece of painting tape on the board to hide where the paint goes.

Step 2: Paint the Chalkboard Next put a piece of painters tape across the chalkboard to mask where the paint goes.

Draw the wood, then remove the tape and let the board dry completely.

Paint the wood, then remove the tape and let the chalkboard dry completely.

Then add a few drops of Treasure Gold paint for a modern look.

Next, add some touches of Treasure Gold paint for a modern look.

These gold dots are perfect for touching gold, reminiscent of animal prints. Use liquid paint to cover any area with blue paint, which is not ideal.

These little golden blobs are perfect for a touch of gold, reminiscent of animal print. Use the paint blobs to cover any places in the blue paint that aren't so perfect.

Step 3: Hanging plate with crystal handle

Repeat the same process as above for the glass buttons. Use the painter's tape to glue a piece of wood. Next, paint the wood brown. Allow to dry completely.

Step 3: Painting the Hanger with Crystal Knobs Repeat the same process as earlier on the crystal knobs. Use the painters tape to block a section of the wood. Then paint the wood with the teal paint. Let it dry completely.

Then follow with Treasure Gold, board style paint.

Next, follow it up with some Treasure Gold paint in the same way as with the chalkboard.

Step 4 - Color the soup box

Now coat the soup can in light blue. Allow to dry and then apply another coat of paint.

Step 4: Paint the Soup Can Now paint the soup can with the light blue paint. Let it dry and give it another coat of paint.

Step 5: Assemble the Command Center

Let's start configuring this command post. Start by removing the hook hanging behind the pendant with crystal gloves.

Then remove the cable from the panel mark with clips.

Next, remove the twine from the Pallet Sign with Clips.

Get a leather strap (or adhesive tape) and a wooden block.

Get a strip of leather (or some ribbon) and the wood block pieces.

On a 20 "x 1" long 1 "x 2" board, add a pile of E6000 glue on top. Also add a piece of hot glue. The hot glue will fix it immediately as the E6000 heals slowly.

On the 1x2 board that is 20-21 inches long, add a bunch of E6000 glue to the top. Also add a line of hot glue. The hot glue will hold it instantly while the E6000 cures slowly.

Place the table on the back of the table and mark the table. Glue the small panels under the surface, so that they are properly placed against the walls. Then let the glue dry for 4 hours.

Place the board across the backside of the pallet plaque and the pallet sign. Hot glue the smaller boards on the bottom of the surfaces, so they rest against the wall properly. Then let the glue dry for 4 hours.

Next, tie the soup can to the leather strap. Secure one end to the pallet with a small nail and hammer. Hot glue can also be used.

Next, attach the soup can with the leather strip. Pound one end of it on the pallet plaque using a small tack and a hammer. Hot glue could also be used.

Next, add a hot sticky strip to the soup box.

Then add a strip of hot glue onto the soup can.

Then attach the coil to the platform and wrap the skin around it.

Then stick the can to the pallet and wrap the leather around it.

Hold the other side of the leather strap taut and press down.

Tack the other side of the leather strip down keeping it pulled tight.

Crystal button attached to a 2 "striped leather strap with a hot adhesive clip.

Hot glue 2 inch stripes of leather from the pallet sign with clips to the hanger with crystal knobs.

The hot glue is enough to hold it in place, but I added a little extra strength ... and I have style left.

The hot glue is enough to hold it, but I added tacks for extra strength...and the look.

Step 6: Close the hook and loop of the blackboard

Now add the crochet tape and loop to the board. Place the loop / flat side on the side of the board hook and on the board.

Step 6: Hook and Loop Closure Chalkboard Now add a strip of hook and loop to the pallet plaque. Put the hook side on the pallet plaque and the loop/soft side on the chalkboard.

This makes the board comfortable to hold without scratching the plastic hook. The board is versatile for practicing checklists, to-do lists, inspirational quotes or writing skills.

This makes the chalkboard comfortable to hold without the plastic hooks scratching. The chalkboard is so versatile for writing menu's, to-do lists, motivational quotes or for practicing writing skills.

This is! It is done!

Close now and enjoy being super organized.

Make a command center organization station to keep track of everything now that school is in session. What does school look like for you? This station is perfect for all circumstances.

Place a monitoring station at the entrance, in the mother's room or at the table top. Get organized at home with checklists, inspirational quotes, a quick-witted mask holder, and some office supplies.

Set up the command station in the entryway, mudroom or over the desk. Get organized at home with a menu, motivational quote, mask holder for quick errands out, and some office supplies.

Take out the command center board to practice writing letters or solving simple math problems. Comment on a flash card, a list of words to pronounce or memorize. Fill the cup with stationery.
