This is such a fun gift to give and you can do so much with it. You can make it into a calendar, photo hanger, recipe card holder or post it note holder . The second is a post it holder and the last is a play board for some magnets.
I got a 5x7 piece of sheet metal from Lowes it was about 40cents. You find it with the duct work. make sure you don't get aluminum a magnet will not stick to it. I took a magnet with me to make sure it would work. I covered the metal with paper and decorated it to make it cute. For the post it holder I just bent the mental over the edge of the table so it folded back to hold the metal up it is bent so it looks like a L. I used my cropadile to punch a hole in it to hold a ribbon that I can hang a pen from.
Thursday when I was a Target I found this Belle Magnet paper doll set. It wasn't until I got home that I got the great idea of covering the metal with a photo of the castle at Disneyland. I just took a photo that I already had of the castle and sized it to 5x7 then printed it on the center of a letter size piece of paper. I centered the metal behind the photo and covered it. I put the whole magnet piece on the back of the play board so my Daughter will know where to put the pieces back when she is done Playing with them. I uploaded the photo yesterday so you can use it if you need to. Jill
The winner of the calendar overlay is Tami Look for my email.
