Decorative Initial Fridge Magnets

Today's craft is another vintage inspired one. Its fridge magnets made from needlepoint styled napkins:

There are a lot of decorative napkins around at the moment, so maybe its a 'designer trend?' 

To make these, I drew around my round dome pebbles with a permanent Sharpie (have you seen these new ones - they don't bleed through paper, fab!)

Then I cut them out and stuck a magnet on the back.  I glued them on with Glossy Accents, which is great for this because its strong but also clear.

They are going to make quite a posh addition to the magnetic noticeboard.

Thanks for stopping by and for any comments,

See you tomorrow,

Extra Post - Shopping!

I've had a successful day shopping today and thought you might be as  nosey  interested as me in finding out what I got!:

What a lot I got!  First up we have..

ANOTHER charity shop crafting book 'Making Great Bags, Tags, Boxes & Cards' by Karen Delquadro (£1.50) which looks interesting and 'Papercraft Inspirations' magazine with some rather twee free cottage embelishments....

...some flat backed glass nuggets which are always useful and a handmade glass paperweight.  That weird shell like thing inside it on the pic looks in real life like fusable craft fibres.  Beautiful and shimmery.  Next up we have...

... a bird in  a tree jewellery stand (looks a bit like the one Helen on 'It's All Fiddle Fart' was showing us...?) This one costs me £3 from a charity shop and its really fashionable!  I also got....

...on the left, a funky travel filofax. (Half Price) Its got badges, stickers and funky things on each page. (Think its meant for kids but they're not having it!) and on the right, a squarish clear pencil case.  I love taking lots of pens around in my bag, so this is ideal. The notebook inside is square so it will be useful for designing scrapbook layouts.  Its a WHSmiths 'Donut Pen Set' @£2.99.  Finally (phew!) I got this..

Sorry, not a great picture but its a magnetic stand-up mini-photo-frame-come-noticeboard with some funky magnets, also down to half price. 

Off now to do today's craft, what will it be?... (Wish I knew! lol)
