How 2 : make a magnetic storage & inspiration board

Sunday, July 1st, 2007


You will need:

  • metal flashing (available at hardware stores)
  • scrapbook paper
  • glass puddles
  • glass topped metal containers
  • spray adhesive or carpet tape
  • tacky glue
  • mighty magnets
  • ribbon (optional)

Directions

  • bend 1/4 of the flashing over a sharp edge, so that it forms a stand
  • spray it front surface with spray adhesive or cover with carpet tape
  • place the paper on and trim as needed
  • paint the backs of glass puddles or glue on a little scraps of paper and let dry, then glue a mighty magnet on each one
  • glue ribbon around base of glass topped tin, if desired, to dress them up a bit
  • glue mighty magnets on the back of each tin and let dry completely

There you have it! It’s perfect for:

  • holding inspiration pics with the magnets and those special charms or beads in the tins
  • holding recipes with the magnets and favorite spices in the tins
  • holding pics and postcards with the magnets and postage stamps and stickers in the tins
  • holding food/health diary with the magnets and vitamins/daily pills in the tins

Happy Canada Day!

Sunday, July 1st, 2007

June 28th marked my 10th year here in the ol’ USA, but I still must hum the O’ Canada tune in my head today! I’m still Canadian after all. I really don’t want to become a US citizen, I’m happy just being a resident.
