Refrigerator Note Pad

I ran out of paper in my Refrigerator notepad. I keep my list of groceries there. I decided to make my own since I already had the materials. It may not have cost much to get a new one, but it didn't cost me anything! And you could make your own style, personalized with a name and cute paper, and whatever size you want!

Supplies Needed:

I used the back of a constuction paper pad and cut it up or cardboard (from a box?).

For the paper I used Scratch Paper that I had (Paper I had already printed on or my kids colored on but the other side has not been used, but you can use any.

I hot glued the paper to the top, and used paper clips to keep it together as it dried. Haha, I actually left the paper clips on for extra support since it is being covered anyway!

I used my sewing machinge with no thread in it to perferate the paper so it can tear easily.

Mod Podge a cool paper to the back and front of the cardboard.

Add a ribbon and bow, or whatever else you want. Use what you have, save money!

Add a magnet (hot glue or double sided tape) to the back and put on your refrigerator. (I used the magnet from my other notepad)

Sweet Treat Template

I made this for my monthly visiting teaching, and decided it was so cute to make my own template for it. This is what I made below and below that is the template I made and one that you can custom make by adding words to it.

Please excuse the ribbon fray... I didn't have smaller ribbons that I wanted to use for this so I just cut one big one up!





Directions: Copy and Paste onto Microsoft Publisher (Publisher works best when adding words, but you can also use Microsoft Word).
Type in your own words, quotes, thoughts or whatever you want to say! You can use this template for any theme or purpose.

Cut out around each object... basically cut off all the white.

Cut out the hole.

punch holes at the top of the quote bubbles, and also above the cut out hole, and in the extra brown rectangles.

Put ribbon through the extra brown rectangle holes to tie a bow.

Use a Brad to attach the bubbles to cover the hole.

Bend the main Sweet Treat bag at the lines (3 of them)

Either use a snack bag, or cut your sandwich bag in half. Fill with candies. Staple to the folded bag to close shut.
Glue the extra brown rectangle with ribbon to the top (to cover the staple and add prettiness.

The end.

Wall Coat Hanger

This was so super easy to make and I love that it turned out exactly like I wanted! I saw something at Hobby Lobby like this that I liked, and decided to make one like it! You can make it any color or design you want!

Supplies Needed: One piece of wood (I used 24"x7 1/4"x1" from Home Depot) Cost about $2, Mod Podge, Paper, Door Knobs (Home Depot)(About $2 each at Home Depot, or more, can also get some fun door knobs at hobby lobby), Drill, Wall Hangers(2). You could also just paint it if you want a plain color!

Approximate Cost: $10-12

Yarn & Rosette Wreath

This was just my first one I did, but it is great because you can change it to any color yarn and rosette and center of rosette... basically very personalized. Or even use other ribbons and things to decorate. Or decorate according to holiday! Hang directly on your door, or attach a ribbon that it hangs from.

Supplies needed: Yarn (2 different colors), Ribbon or Fabric (about 2 inches width and 3 foot in length, buttons or jewels for the center of the fabric flowers, Foam Wreath Frame (Hobby Lobby), Hot glue gun

Directions: Hot Glue the start of the yarn onto the wreath frame. Wrap continually to cover completely until the end and hot glue. With a different color yarn start by hot glueing, wrap with a great distance between each wrap and hot glue the end. For the rosette, twist the ribbon or fabric and begin to wrap, hot glue, then wrap, hot glue, wrap then tuck the end under and hot glue (when you get to how big of a flower you want). Hot glue center jewel or button. Hot glue Rosettes onto the Wreath.
