Mini Notes

Pegs are just about the most versatile craft base. you can stick-em together and make little amimals (reindeer at Chrissy time are my favorite) flip them upside down and make note or photo holders. string them along some craft string or wire and they will hold your Chrissy cards! the best part about them is that they are cheap! Cheap as chips! Cheaper THAN chips actually. I got this whopping pack of 100 wooden pegs from the local cheap variety store (GoLo - how i love thee!) with the intention of making something from them. Here is my first attempt. Magnetic note holders in colourful floral designs! perfect for the fridge or magnetic note board! I just stuck a piece of designer paper along one side of the peg, a flat sticky magnet on the other and quilled a little design for the front! Selling them at craft market for 2 bucks a set - Total bargain craft!

Love it!!

Quilled Magnets

I Made these magnets with some old plastic covered magnets that are designed for use on whiteboards. I honestly didnt think they would hold much, but cute for decoration, but was surprised when the bigger ones held around 5 or 6 sheets of paper before falling off the fridge. To make, I simply created a large tight coil (much like one used for making 3D items) and molded them over the plastic of the magnets and shaped them until I was happy. Glued them down with my regular PVA glue and then when they were dry brushed them with a coat of glossy Mod Podge.

I made a few with quilled designs on them, but have yet to take a photo.
