While Dave spent some quality time with the "littles" today, I crafted my booty off! I created the perfect list of tunes on Pandora, complete with "Frank Sinatra" and got settled in. The first craft I worked on was another batch of holiday magnets. I made a TON of these at our last MOPS craft night and needed to make more to package up for teacher gifts. These are super easy to make and are a great, small gift to have on hand {for those last minute gifts}. Check it out...
I started out by using this double sided paper from the Making Memories "Fa-La-La" Collection. If you get a chance, grab a couple of sheets of this paper. You can make gift tags, holiday cards, magnets...basically a TON of goodies from this paper.
Cut the circles out or simply use a circle punch. Adhere a jumbo flat back clear marble {purchased from JoAnn's} on top, a super strong magnet on the back and that's it!
I popped mine into an altered "altoid" tin and secured with a holiday bow. Use your 40% off coupon and you've got a sweet lil' gift for just under $5. {Package them in sets of 6 and you've got gifts for at least 4 people...what a BARGAIN!!!}

Updated to add: The adhesive I used was Glossy Accents, Soba glue for the magnets and I decoupaged the altoid tin with scrapbook paper. I know that Making Memories sells this paper in paper pad form at Michael's but they may sell them individually too.

What a great idea! I hope to find that paper at one of our scrapbooking stores-it is too cute.
Love this idea! Just curious to know how you altered the altoids tin? :)
Cool idea! Even I can do that. ;O)
They look darling!!!
That is adorable! It seems easy enough for me to do and I like that you repurposed an Altoid tin as their holder. I love projects like this!
