A Steel Sheet covered with fabric and framed all around makes an excellent magnetic hanging board.

A magnetic board offers the advantage over pin board that of not damaging the material put up.

Last but not Least add a Pegboard .

A Pegboard is a metal or MDF sheet with a grid of small holes in it fixed to a wooden frame on a wall. Various organizing hooks are availaable for use with pegboards.

As pegboards were not currently available in my area so you'll just have to do with the picture of the wooden frame for now. :( I'll update the pictures as soon as I get the pegboard .
