DIY Magnetic Memo Board Gift

So simple you'll say, "Say What!?"

Hold on to your hat.  This craft is a pizza pan.  From the Dollar Store.  And it's magnetic.

1.  Get a pizza pan
2.  Get a square of fabric large enough to cover that pizza pan.
3.  Iron your fabric (spraying with a water bottle, stretching, then letting dry will do the trick, too)
3.  Make a line of hot glue little by little around the inner circle of the pan (too much at one time and it will dry).  Smooth it down as you go.
5.  Flip the pan over and repeat, gluing down little by little and smoothing as you go.
6.  Optional:  Find another piece of fabric to glue down over the back to make it look all profesh.
7.  Decorate at will.

Pizza pan = $1
Using other stuff you have at home = free

Tip:  I bought this fabric in the "remnant" section of Hobby Lobby (or any other Walmart or Craft Store).  I bought the yellow for $2 and was able to make 4 projects and the blue for $2 and was able to make 4 projects.  I still have leftover fabric to use!

Le back.











Here's what I spent in real life.  If you are a craft-a-holic or crazy genius you may able to make this for free.  I wanted a cute little circle memo board, but if you use your imagination I bet you have other magnetic things lying around the house (p.s.  Test them with a magnet before you go all nuts making a project that may not work)

DIY gift: Jewelry Frame, Dollar Store Alert!

Money's a little tight around the holidays.  Can I get an Amen?

Here's a project I made for my peeps, along with step-by-step instructions and a cost tally.  Get ready for it!  (p.s. Try to keep yourself from flying out the door immediately.  You may want to read all of the steps before you run out to the store)

Instructions
1.  Get a Dollar Store Frame (or one you have in your house) and take out the glass (you will not need it)  If you don't like the color, but like the size of the frame get it anyway…I bought 2 silver frames and painted one black.
2. On the backing, hot glue a piece of fabric or scrapbook paper so that it overlaps on to the back.  (see pic)
3. Strategically glue a ribbon across the bottom (mine has glue in several spots to hold up heavier earrings well)
4.  Cut a few wine corks in half and attach them through the backing with screws or nails (make sure they don't poke through the cork.  Ouch!)
5.  Done

Yep.  That simple.

Itemized list of things you will need to find in your house or buy:

Frame

Paper, photo, fabric or bandana

ribbon, yarn, etc (optional)

wine corks if you got em (optional)

screws or nails (optional)

It is completely possible to make this for free.  I cheated and bought a few things To make it cutesier.

I'll be honest and show you my expense report.
