I think I deserve to be placed into the “World’s Worst Blogger” category for what I’m about to admit. Oh well. Here goes: It is December 5, 2012, and I’m just now posting about the gift I gave to our church ladies last Christmas. As in 2011. A year ago. I know. Disgraceful. I decided that Christmas is Christmas, so why not just come clean and share it now, a year later? Yeah. Why not? So I am. I hope you can forgive my laziness and can see the gift for what it was. Okay, it wasn’t much, but perhaps you can see it for what I hoped it would be.
Just to set the stage, I should say that last year was my first year to delve into Pinterest. I was new; I was still in the learning phase, but I was in it and loving it. I found THIS project there. I gave it a whirl.
I am now a Pinterest addict. But that’s another post for another time.
- Scrapbooking paper
- Tiny, clear jewels used in vases
- Magnets – small enough that they won’t show
- Scissors
- Clear Tacky glue
- Hold the flat side gem against your favorite paper, pattern side up, and cut around it using sharp scissors. Don’t leave any excess hanging off the edge.
- Place a dot of clear Tacky glue onto pattern side of paper and adhere to the flat side of gem.
- Allow to dry overnight.
- Next day, peel backing from the round magnets, and place a drop of clear Tacky glue onto the back. Adhere to bottom of gem.
- Allow to dry overnight.
- Stick to a metal surface (not sure you’d know what to do with a magnet…lol! Just kidding!)
- Enjoy.
