Dollar Store Mother’s Day Craft.

May 4, 2012 | Uncategorized

This week I was asked to create a little ‘favor’ for a group of women that were getting together for a Mother’s Day dinner. I immediately thought…MAGNET BOARD….because well, those are the types of favors that can be CUTE and USEABLE.  {Not a fan of favors that are just. cute.} Plus…I’ve never actually ‘created’ my own type of magnet board before so I looked at it as a new crafting adventure!
I went to went to Home Depot to check into getting some sheet metal cut for me to use as the base and I was shocked at just how much sheet metal cost!  Who knew?! I then decided to scour over the Dollar Tree and see what else might work…for hopefully much, much less.
I stumbled upon a treasure.

And here’s how the rest went down…..

And that is IT!  
Magnets stick PERFECTLY onto these trays… which could also hold notes, recipes… the possibilities are endless!  
I should mention also, that I scored the silver easels to set them on ALSO at the Dollar store.
Double score.
Mother’s Day is just a week away.  Is it too early to start leaving my husband hints as to what I’d like???

I doesn't hurt that you like an ice cold diet DP for breakfast, your a girl after my own heart. ๐Ÿ™‚ I also made one with my daughters who are 12 & 14 to hang on there doors so we could leave notes for each other my 14 yr old said you'll probably just leave a note to clean my room but, I really wanted them so I could leave one of these on their door at night http://www.cometogetherkids.com/2012/01/you-made-my-heart-happy-message-and.html
