Conversation Magnets

I just love finding new uses for vinyl! The idea for conversation magnets just struck me today, and I had S.O.M.U.C.H.F.U.N. designing and making them!


Materials:

  • 1 roll of 1" magnet tape
  • Vinyl words of your choice
  • Scrapbook paper
  • Scissors
Directions:

1. Cut out vinyl words



2. Unwrap the sticker from the magnet tape, and apply the sticky side of tape to the edge of the scrapbook paper. 



I chose three different, coordinating pieces of paper just for fun :) 

3. Apply the cut words to the magnet strip



Look at that!



4. Add to fridge and oila!




I had so much fun making these and arranging them in different sayings to surprise Ben when he came home. When he did, he immediately started playing with them, too, and rearranged them all to say "I love my wife" "Susannah forever" etc. How sweet?!?!

But in the end....


I win :) 

These were so fun and E.A.S.Y. and I.N.E.X.P.E.N.S.I.V.E. to make that I sat down and made five other sets for a friend who just got married and my sisters :)

Just spreading the V-day love!

  2. A great idea! Thanks for sharing. I may use some of the basic words my daughter is learning to read to help her put sentences together. Too fun.
