Stamped Peg Magnets - diy


I've been getting annoyed at my fridge.

Bear with me, I'm going somewhere.

It is COVERED in random pieces of paper, drawings, photos... all held up precariously with 3 magnets. Actually, not even magnets, but magnetized business cards from people I'm never ever going to need to call. And every time I open the door, something falls off.

So today I decided to do something about it - I've seen these fab stamped clothes pegs around etsy and pinterest - and I thought, why not make some and glue a magnet to the back?

And that's what I did.

I may make more :)

Sunday school Valentine's

I saw a giant version of this on pinterest, and decided to make a smaller one for Valentine's with a frame I picked up in the clearance isle ages ago...

Love Rocks


I had a go at making salt dough this morning - I was going to try make some awesome tags that I saw on pinterest last week, but I think I got the recipe wrong, and it kept tearing when I tried to move the cut outs.


However, child had a great time making things with it, and I did come up with these little stamped pebbles, which I shall now call Love Rocks.

I won't post a tutorial until they've dried and I know they aren't going to crumble to dust though! If they don't I think I'll make a bunch more for favors for the shower...

In other news, I'm having a sale until Monday - 20% off everything with coupon code SPRING20, and I've finally got around to filling up my craft and supply shop www.FadedLace.etsy.com which I'm really excited about.

Hope you';re all having a fabulous Saturday!
