Altered Magnet

There's a new challenge up at Sarah Hurley's Challenge Blog. The theme is to recycle, repurpose or alter something in some way. How can anyone resist that!

 I found an old magnet hanging around in a drawer and decided to do something with it.Sarah's new kit My Favourite Things had just arrived and I couldn't resist using the fabulous papers.


I took the glass out of the camera and replaced it with this gorgeous heart paper, made some matching flowers and added a bit of glitter. The heart's held in place by the pink thread and the wooden crosses/kisses were glued down onto the wood paper frame.Note to self-next time keep fingers away from the hot glue gun!


Please come along and join us-I can't wait to see all the fabulous makes.

    Great makeover,Monica. Love the altered magnet. Hot guns are way too hot, aren't they?

    One very good reason not to own a glue gun!!!! I really like your creation. Very clever. The roses are a nice touch giving a nice contrasting texture.

    I can highly recommend keeping fingers away from a hot glue gun. Love what you've done to the magnet.

    What a great idea. Your fridge will thank you for it! I have yet to purchase a hot glue gun, and will take heed of the above warnings!
