animal magnet diy

animal-magnet-diyHi everyone! Today I’m sharing my most recent DIY that I’ve made. These magnets are a great addition to any country or vintage-themed kitchen, or one that has a child or children with busy little fingers.

animal-magnets-1Supplies:

Any animal toy(s)
Magnets
Crazy glue
Miter saw
Clamp
Spray paint (optional)

animal-magnets-7Steps:

1. When choosing an animal, make sure to select one or more that can easily be cut to have a flat neck and midsection. This is where you will eventually be gluing the magnets, and so you will need to consider how they will look once placed on your fridge.

animal-magnets-22. Once you have your selection, the next step is to saw the animal into three parts. Clamp the animal down, and using a miter saw, saw the head and the bottom off as smoothly and carefully as possible.

animal-magnets-33. Next, glue one or two magnets onto the backs of the head and bottom. If the magnets are larger, then you will most likely only need one. If you have smaller magnets, then two or more will be needed.

animal-magnets-84. Once the glue has cured, the animal magnets are ready to be used. Alternatively, you may wish to spray paint them. If so, then do so between steps 2 and 3. Either way, they make a pretty unique and fun DIY to add to any kitchen!

wooden camera art from etsy.

i found jesiiii’s etsy store on abeautifulmess.com. i know, i know. can i go just one post without talking about abm? mmm, possibly! not this time, though. ;-)

we love to decorate little green with anything wooden. we don’t, however, own any wooden artwork. i definitely needed to change that!

having just built our camera station in april, the moment i saw these beautiful pieces i knew that i must have them. it didn’t matter that they were magnets, because no one would see their backs once they were placed in the wall crate.
