project 1 of 25: clothespin magnets.

Things are constantly falling off our fridge and I wanted a more effective way of clipping papers and photos, so that was the goal for this project. Though function was the main priority, I like that the magnets had a bit of style to them too. Win win.



I wish there was some sort of complicated process going on here so I could brag about it and throw together a tutorial for you all, but basically, I painted some rubber cement on some clothespins, cut paper and a magnet to fit, and hot glued the magnet strip to the back. Voila. Instant clothespin magnet. I will admit though, I did make about 30 magnets, and it's pretty time consuming, even if it's easy.



I made a few extras and packaged them up for my in-laws' fridge, which was a great little project too.

Onward to the other projects.
