This is for the Fridge magnet challenge.
This is made of parts that I had around. All of it's reused!

I liked this idea when HGTV did it...

Oh, I had no idea it had been done.... Cool. Mine is different though, so I think I'm good. ;-P

Mmm, very original, very useful too. Although it looks a little funky and lumpy, unless the modern - abstract look is what you're going for :D I like it, hope you win.

Haha, my inheritance. I like that idea, I might try it. I'll put up pictures if I do.

(I actually raided my dads cork collection, but inheritance sounds better.)

the gorilla glue isn't re-used, not exactly 100% recycled. i remembered when I had to glue something together with gorilla glue, and then rested my head in the pile of excess glue.... bad idea

True... but it really is hard to re-use glue....

To quote Super Troopers, "Das a lotta booze!" + for really cool though. Maybe you should consider, uhh, sanding? or grinding? i'm not sure.. but somehow flattening all of them. The more I think about it, that is really unnecessary.
