Pom Pom Clothespin Magnets {tutorial}

Happy Friday everyone! 

Today I'm going to show you how I made these:

To make the pom pom....

Step One: Cut out circles from your fabric of choice. (I used an Advil bottle to trace my circles.) You can fold the fabric a few times so that you don't need to cut out each individual circle. I use about 20 circles for each pom pom.

On a small circle of felt, begin adding your circles, one at a time. You fold each circle in half, then in half again before you glue it to the piece of felt.

Step Two: Add next circle beside & add extra dabs of glue if necessary.

Step Three and Step Four: Keep adding the circles in layers, until the pom pom looks full & you are happy with the result.

To finish making these clothespin magnets, I simply added the pom pom to one side of my clothespin, then added the magnet on the other side, using my glue gun.

I added one to the top of my sister's gift for her bridal shower recently.

These would be cute gift idea as well. A set with a few different colours that coordinate would be a great gift idea for a teacher, sister, mom, etc!

Happy Crafting!!

what I did with free printables PLUS ways to jazz up gift card giving

I printed off a copy of a couple of free printables from this site. And put them in some white frames......


The house rules print was just too pretty with the pink door as the background! I had a silver coloured frame that I spray-painted white and I love how it looks now!!

This purple print of the 13th Article of Faith (the youth theme for 2011) was just too perfect for my 14 year old sister that has a purple/pink/yellow room. I bought the plain white frame from Walmart and used my glue gun to add on the fabric flower. I also added the pink gem in the middle.






For her birthday I gave her a gift card to one of her favourite stores (what teenage girl doesn't love clothes AND shopping?!!). So I wrapped up this frame with her gift card like this:





I used ink on a plain chipboard tag and added on the letter "H" and a couple of purple gems to make this cute tag.






For my older brother who also had a birthday this month, I gave him a gift card to a clothes store along with a Kit Kat. I used a couple ribbons and some hot glue to make the gift look more fun....









It's all about the details!! :)
