Where you come when you are bitten by the craft bug

My name is Heather and I am a craftaholic. I am also a procrastinator, so many of my crafts just live in my head! Hopefully this blog will give me an outlet for all my ideas and help someone else cure their craft bug bites.

Tile Magnets

Photobucket


These were such an easy and quick project. I saw the basic idea browsing craft blogs, I can’t remember where. I went to home depot and purchased white tiles in 2x2, 2x6 and 3x6. The 2x2’s come in a sheet of 36 tiles, the 2x6 and 3x6 where purchased as singles.


I used my Cricut to cut out letters for each of our family member names. You could purchase a stencil and paint them on or print the letters out on your computer. I also tried to think of the types of things we put on our fridge.

Materials:

Paper

Mod Podge

Tiles in your size choice

Glue Gun

Button Magnets

How to:
