Magnet

We love books in our house.  Since having kids my addiction for buying books for myself has mostly ended and instead I have a slight problem buying hoards of books for the kids.  I am trying to be good about rotating some of them out seasonally.  A while back I bought this metal bucket from Target.  I decided that it would be fun to decorate it for each season and have this be our main rotating book location for the living room.  I finally got around to trying out my magnet paper on my Silhouette.  I found the shape in the shop, colored it in and merged it together.  Then I printed it out on my printer and then ran the magnet sheet through the Silhouette to cut it out.  I was pretty pleased with how the first attempt went.  Now onto making them for each season!

Clothespin Magnets

Kelly got inspiration for this project from one of her friends.

 She used scrapbook paper, clothes pins, glue and self adhesive magnet strips.

 She cut the scrapbook paper to size and glued it onto the clothespins.  Then she cut a strip of the self adhesive magnet strips and attached it to the back of the clothespin.  She set a couple of heavy books on top of it so it would really stick well.

Cute, easy project!

St. Louis Cardinal Magnets

Allison is a BIG St. Louis Cardinals fan and in honor of the start of baseball season she decided to update her magnet collection.  She printed out photos of each of her favorite players and then glued the photos to clear gems with clear glass glue.  Then she attached a magnet with super glue.

Magazine Magnets

To make this project Allison used a magazine, scissors (though next time she would use a circle punch:)), pen, circle magnets, Elmer's Glue Stick, Elmer's Ultra Stix All and clear gem circles.
