Making Magnets

As part of The First Lady's Christmas present, we got her some Christmas magnets from a store on Etsy and also got ourselves some.

Christmas Decorations Fridge Magnets, Set of 9 Holiday Refrigerator Magnets with Storage Tin (set 34)
from DRLjewelry
Spanky liked the look of them and wanted to know how to make them, so looked up on the internet how to make them. She then ordered some supplies from another Etsy store and once they arrived she started to make some.

They have turned out really well, and are not to difficult to do and are making great presents for people.

Making these has helped to fill in a couple of hours over the last few weekends where we've had an hour to kill here and there, but not enough time to really fit a big project in (like trying to catch up on all the Bones episodes that have been recorded as its been on twice a week!).


The plan is to maybe try and sell at some markets, and see how they go. Having been to a number of markets over the last couple of months, we haven't seen anyone else selling these or similar things.
Just need to think of a market name..... & decide to do it.







Also tried something different:
