Turn Your Old Cards Into Fun Magnets

Hi Friends!

Do you have old cards that are just taking up space? Maybe you have thought about throwing them out. Wait! Before you do that, read what we have done with ours. You might just want to do the same. 

 I decided that while I had some downtime (Long Story - I'll explain in another post) that I would slowly go through some clutter that seems to be taking over the kitchen cabinets.

I have an office cabinet in the kitchen, where I keep envelopes, documents, & random other papers. I have also been using the top shelf to store all the cards we have received through the years.
I have often thought about throwing them out. Instead I came up with an idea to have my girls turn the cute pictures on them into magnets to play with.   I'm really glad we have turned what I considered clutter into fun magnets. They are enjoying using them to create their own stories. Right now they are playing with them on the refrigerator, but my hubby plans on making them their own magnetic board soon. Super fun! 

  

Repurposed Can Goods Cardboard.....Really!

I just have to share! 

 I was feeling crafty this evening. I looked around the house for things to repurpose and found some cardboard. The kind of cardboard you find can goods on in the grocery store. I thought they would look good covered in fabric. Problem was, I had no extra fabric. I did however have an old plastic table cloth. So here is what I created. 

I ended taking it down from that place, because I liked what I had there previously. I am however going to hang them in my bedroom.   So easy and they actually look really good!
