DIY...Simple & Cute Magnets

I've been meaning to do this post for a while, but lack of time has made it quite the task.  Luckily I had some free time on Saturday, so I thought I'd share with you how to make some super cute and easy magnets.

If you're anything like me, you love a fridge that exudes character and personality.  I don't think I could stand mine being bare...currently this is what mine looks like:

 
I have a lot of insanely cute stickers for scrap booking (and letter writing).  I came across a few supremely awesome stickers from Michael's Crafts that I wanted to do something "more" with...rather than adorn the pages of a book, why not use them for magnets?  I love them and I can't help but grin a bit seeing them.  

Yep, I'm a sucker for all things kawaii. I mean, look at their little faces!  GAH!!


So, let's get started!  You can use anything you want really...if there's a stamp you want to use, go for it.  Fortune cookie fortune?  That could work.  Have fun with it.








And there you go!  So easy and hella cute.  Give it a try and let me know how it goes.



Later gators!

So so cute!! Someone made me a braclet with dominos that had zombie movie posters on them. The bracelet was too big so I had to remove a few of the dominos and I turned them into magnets too! I actually have a whole role of magnet that has sticky on the one side so I can turn anything into one =D
