recycled decoupag-y magnets!

i felt a bit sad that my fridge was getting covered in those flat promotional magnets from local businesses that i don't use, so i started covering the magnets with fun pictures, and smiling at breakfast again!

i like making these so much because they're cheap and quick, as you don't need anything fancier than sticky tape, some magnets, a glue stick (even a crappy one), and some pictures or photos; it can be really easy (if you pick simple square or rectangular shapes); and it doesn't require too much coordination (i can get frustrated with wanting to make something nice, but my lack of precision makes the thing turn out not so good :( )

Step 1 Ingredients

you'll need:

- flat promotional magnets (check your letterbox, or maybe stores in your area have them)
- scissors (preferably small and sharp, especially necessary when cutting out complicated shapes)
- glue stick (the dry kind, not the wet stuff)
- clear sticky tape
- pretty pictures!! photos, magazine pics, postcards: anything that will fit on a single magnet, or part thereof. you could probably stick a whole bunch of magnets and pics together, too- i haven't done this yet though :D

 I see promotional magnets being given out all the time. Now i'm going to collect them and have fun redesigning them.

Thanks!
