Hi everyone !! Wanted to share a quick little gift idea for you to create ...either at the last minute or make a bunch of them to have on hand ! Everyone can use a magnet to hold up a note or the most recent art project created by a loved one ! I usually make several of these at a time and have on hand to give as a little thank you gift !
I use wood clothespins , these I dyed with rit dye ! Any color choice you can do , today I used my blue one's or you can use natural one's also !
Next I picked a collage sheet from Altered Pages large selection , the one I used is
4 by 4 Collage Backgrounds VI , I liked the vintage look I was going for !! I used each design on the sheet , decopodged onto the clothespin , let dry and then used a
blending tool and aged the edges . Searched through my button stash and added for a little bling, you can get creative and use rhinestones, flowers , old jewelry ...you get the picture !!??. I use the strip magnets on mine , you can also use the strong neodymium magnets if you want !Then I used more of the collage sheet and cut a scallop edge and clipped the clothespins onto it and then inserted into a cellophane "envelope" !The cellophane envelopes are available at crafting stores or online. I then used another part of the background to staple onto the cellophane and added a word ( celebrate) , you can use any sentiment and print out your words or stamp them !!
Now your done and you got a super cute little gift ready to give !!
Have a wonderful & creative day !
