when I do my menu board kits...i buy a roll of metal flashing from lowe's that is 10 feet by 14 inches.
and my menu board is 12 inches..
which leaves me a lot of 2 inch pieces of metal..
and the hoarder in me can't throw it away.
honest. i threw it away.
then pulled it out of the garbage.
and it didn't look so purdy.
so i took some fabric...that i bought...cause it WAS purdy. ya know..to hoard it along with my other fabrics.
and covered it up....
then i took some sun yellow spray paint (from krylon)
and coated myself a frame with it...
and i hot glued it all together.
I braided three strips of the blue together
easy. fast and awesome
slapped some buttons on some magnets..
then i stole some from my fridge...
this one is just a glass rock...with scrapbook paper behind and stickers on the front.
and a glass rock in the middle of the flower.....
then i grabbed this one...(USED to hold up the grocery list)
and thought it made a great to do list holder...
i attached mine to my hutch door....
Great Idea! Super Creative. Thanks for sharing! I am loving your blog! (Just found it...) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteyour I Spy quilt is #1 to-do?!?!
ReplyDelete......I have got to get to work!!
Great way to use up those scraps! Is the large roll of metal flashing from Lowe's expensive? I've though about buying it but never have checked it out.
ReplyDeleteLove it! And love that you used your leftovers. I can't throw stuff away either!!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I need! My grandson drew a picture that he wants hung up in his room. He asked for a tack, I said, "noooo tacks in the wall" I told him, I'll think of a way...your project is perfect timing, thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of left-overs. Hey, do you think that the flashing would be magnetic enough to use with magenetic spice jars? I'm thinking adhere to a back and then install on the back of a cabinet door. Oh, maybe do that w/ magnetic hooks to hold utensils.....hmm...thinking.....
ReplyDeleteCUUUUTE! I've been wanting to make one of those for forever! Maybe I'll just buckle down and do it now!
ReplyDeleteI so got to get to work on my I spy quilt.............
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use for the scrap pieces! Love the bright colors!
ReplyDeleteI REALLY love this idea! I pinned it on my pinterest board :)
ReplyDeleteYour genius is seriously amazing! Thank you for keeping me inspired with all your crafty goodness.
ReplyDeleteFabulous Idea! I love that you found out an adorable and useful way to use up the metal scraps! way to go:)
ReplyDeleteLove this! I can't throw anything away either - which as you just proved, someday it may come in handy! I have a question for you. Where do you find the big clear rocks (that you turn into magnets) I have never seen them before. We have all the stores except Michaels (they closed) :( But Joann's and Hobby Lobby are running strong. Thanks in advance! Love your blog btw! :) Carmen
