Awhile ago I made these adorable little alphabet magnets inspired
by my BFF Bec at Little Lucy Lu. (She is SO creative and awesome.
You really should go check out her blog sometime.)
I never posted my finished product on Sweet Little Gals, so here you have it.
Sweet little alphabet magnets, homemade.
I love 'em so much I think I will eventually make about twenty sets of them! {grin}
And the fun thing is I thought of another way to make them
only with a vintage twist. I'm so excited about it!!
Here's how I did it...
I used the same little wooden discs as I did for the alphabet magnets
and painted them with Krylon spray paint, white and celery {green}
(And I somehow missed taking pics of the painting process, oops!)
 |
| Here's the cool little discs |
Then I sanded and distressed the edges of the painted discs
to look like this (SWEET huh?)
I used these two colors of distress ink
(Walnut on the white discs, both colors on the green discs for a different look)
Then here's the part where I did things a little differently...
I took my newest issue of Flea Market style magazine
(I just LOVE this magazine)
 |
| You could use whatever magazine you want!! |
And traced little random circles out of it (using the alpha stax sticker
as a pattern) to look like this
I cut out a whole bunch of them!
Aren't they CUTE?
 |
| Yeah, I cut out each and every one of those circles :) |
Then I used Modpodge to put them on the painted discs
Added magnets on the backs of them with
Gorilla glue
And here you have it, cute little vintage magnets!!
Now I just can't WAIT to put them on my fridge!
