Mini Ornament Magnets

Hey Everyone!

    I am so excited that next week is Thanksgiving. I have all of my recipes prepared (as in figured out lol) but I still need to grab a few things from the grocery. Are you hosting this year? Last year was my first and it was a success! Im hoping for a repeat this year since this is the first holiday in our new home :).

   Today I am sharing with you mini ornament magnets. I made these for a swap I am in over at 2 Peas. I don't think any of those ladies are a follower (I just joined when they released the app) so i felt it was safe to share with you!

This is not my original idea, I found it here.

It is super simple and cheap to make. First, I went to Wal-Mart and got two packages of mini ornaments. One in hot pink, the other silver.

Then I attached circle magnets with hot glue. The circle magnets don't sit perfectly on the ornaments but since it will be used on a fridge or in a craft room, I didnt mind. You cant really tell when they are in use!

I went back and forth on how I should package these and I really didnt want to order anything online. I finally settled on snack size sandwich bags which fit these perfectly.

To me, that's pretty ugly to give as a gift lol! To dress it up I took a white piece of cardstock and used it as my topper by stapling it to the bag. To hide the staples I took a hot pink strip, stamped "Merry Christmas" using Scrappy Mom's Stamps "Winter Wishes" and glued it on top. I then added hot pink tulle, and cut an ornament shape from Winter Frolic.

It's not much, but looks a lot better than a plain baggy!

I had to make 12 of these (a 12 days of Christmas themed swap) and I hope they like them. I have some on my fridge for the holidays as well :).

Thanks for visiting!
