Clipping Refridgerator Messages

 

For years we had child-made magnets and notes on the fridge. But, the kids have been gone for several years now so I decided it is time for a fridge update.

These magnets are made using a clip clothespin from Canvas Corp. as the base. Then I raided my stash to create the gorgeous toppings.

The floral magnet is created using the Sizzix Flowers, 3D die. 

I cut and assembled the flowers, gluing them together with Designer Dries Clear.

 Then I added Art Glitter #305 Goldenrod Ultrafine Transparent Glitter to the edges. To do this I use and a small detail paint brush to apply Designer Dries Clear to the edges.

Then I either sprinkle on the glitter or sometimes dip the flowers right into the jar. Gently tap off excess.

When the glitter and glue is set, use the Designer Dries Clear to adhere the glittered flowers to the top of the clip clothespin.

 

The magnet is finished off by adding three green gems by Hero Arts to add a bit of extra detail. Flower stamens are also added to the flower centers and Xyron Magnetic Tape is added to the bottom of the clothespin so it sticks to the fridge effortlessly!

 

I've created another fridge magnet from the Sizzix Primitive Heart die and corrugated cardboard. Click on over to my blog to take a gander at that one and for another tutorial so you can make your own!
