Don't you just love a craft fair? Or a home show? Or a school carnival? I
do. And, I appreciate all of the effort and planning it takes to organize
such an event. Why, I was at a school craft fair just this weekend and met
Carol Duvall, live and in person (since I see her daily I had a
pre-conceived notion that she'd recognize me!)
Anyways, when I leave I have a fistfull of STUFF that the vendors knew I'd
need, and I hate to see good STUFF just thrown away. I file away the
business cards, I read the one flyer that even remotely pertains to my
interest, and THEN...the project you all are interested in...I recycle the
refrigerator magnets into an adorable photo gallery!
That's right! And, no, it's not cheap--it's FRUGAL. I don't intend to look
at 'Joe's Septic Cleaning' when I get milk for my cereal in the morning--but
I will enjoy the assortment of photos that will grace my kitchen.
Very simply:
1)Peel the ad off of the magnet. (It's not even necessary to
get all of the old adhesive off.)
2)Apply double stick tape to all four edges of the magnet.
3)Position a scrapbook reject photo-or a photo you got doubles of (or the
ONE that makes you cry, or laugh out loud, or even the one of the one you
love) and trim it to fit if necessary.
THAT'S IT!!
When you've made a few you might enjoy playing with some color or print
paper mounting and fun fancy cut edges. What have you got to lose (you can
still look up septic cleaning in the yellow pages)?!?
Smile :) Rose
