I saw some cute magnets at a craft show this weekend...they were so simple, but a fun way to display those never ending beautiful artwork papers you get from your kiddos. My fridge is a constant art display and I have to clean it weekly to make room for the next weeks treasures.
I decided to make some of these magnets for myself. Jibbity is especially excited to use the new craft project we painted together to hang her MANY masterpieces I get each week. Super easy, and fun for the kids to help with.
*these are made out of wood. I just used some scrap wood I had around. It's about 3/4 inch by 1 1/4 inch. They are 6 inches long. I used my big sander to add some texture on the sides. We then painted, I used a white paint pen for the stars, polka dots, hearts, and swirls, and a sharpie to write the words. Then I sanded again to distress all the edges. Hot glued some magnets on the back, and there you go. Easy and fun for those little monsters to help with! You could personalize them or make them a lot fancier. I thought about doing sports theme for Bug, ladybugs for Lexlee, and flowers for Jibbity. Maybe another time. I thought the simple turned out cute too.*
Gotta get ready for another craft boutique
this weekend. Oh...and be sure to keep checking Ribbon Blossoms ...we are adding a bunch of new products.
