I saw a similar idea to this in an overpriced home-wares shop... seriously, I so wouldn't pay $20 for a four pack of these little things when they are so easily made, and especially when you can recycle bits of your own treasured bits of paper and fabric. You just need a few seconds and:
- a few craft magnets (mine were $2 for a pack from a $2 store)
- a few bulldog clips (mine were a few old ones hanging about the study)
- an old card, paper or fabric
- hot glue and gun
I had a lovely card that a student teacher had given me. I loved the print and decided not to throw it straight to the recycle bin. So I've cut the card in small rectangles to fit around the bulldog clip. Simply glue into place, and then glue a magnet over the top. Easy!
The finished result - wonderful for hanging up treasured art works by little people!
* Note, if you're not using a glossy card, you may want to consider sealing with PVA mix or Mod Podge?
