Fridge Notepads


My first project
in my new studio
came from this inspiration
from Kristy at
Next to Heaven


I took these coasters
from the $1 bin
at Michael's


I lightly scuffed
them up
with a sanding sponge



Using my cricut 
I cut a 4in
circle using the 
craft room
 and George cartridge


I modpodged
them together
and put a layer
on top to seal 
the paper

I then took the sanding sponge
and sand with a downward motion


sanded I removes the excess
paper and seals the papers




match up the notepads


Also with cricut
I cut a rectangle
1.25 w x 1.986 h
out of scrap
paper to cover the binder clip
I also scuffed it up 
with a fine sanding sponge


glued them in place







then added
embellishments
this one is a flower button


that I cut the
 shank off of it
and glued it to
he binder clip


and added a magnet
on the back


I also cut a 6 in 
piece of ribbon
and tied it on
 to the back clip

This project will use 
a lot of your scraps
 up not to mention
those leftover 
embellishments


I will be selling these
and my next
 major decision
is whether or not
I should wrap
them in cellophane or not


the pro is it keeps them protected
The con is they are slightly obstructed

What are your thoughts
cellophane or not?

  1. What a fun and creative idea! I love the $1 section at Michael's. I like them in the cellophane with a ribbon tie but I either way they are adorable!!
