Magnets from junk

I bought this sign for my Easter Decor:

DSCN8774

After I popped the flowers off the sign I didn’t want to just throw them away, but honestly they really aren’t that cute so I knew I’d never use them for any of *my* projects. However, my 5-year-old daughter LOVES the flowers so I decided to take a few magnets and glue them to the backs.

It was so easy and took me all of about 2 minutes from start to finish.

Cute? No?

She loves them.

And of course in typical 8-year-old-son fashion, he was jealous that she got magnets and he didn’t, so I pulled a few legos out of his bin and glued some magnets to the backs of them as well… just for him.

SO EASY!!

And now both kids are pleased as pie.

    Stopping by from SITS.

    I love this idea. I banished all magnets to the backyard where the girls stick them on the (ugh) metal screen door we have yet to replace. I bet they would have a lot of creative fun if I made them magnets out of all of the little odds and ends we collect.

    You have new fan!

    The flower magnets are so cute. I like the lego magnets, too. That’s better than stepping on them on the floor! But my son saw yours and said, “your not doing that with ours!” lol Thanks for the ideas!

    I have a boy and a girl, too, and it must always be “even Steven” in our house, too! 🙂 I really like the flower magnets, but those Lego magnets were my favorites. My son would play all day on my refrigerator if I made them. 🙂 Thanks for the great idea!
