I saw this idea in a book and decided to use it as a magnet to organize the clutter on my refrigerator. So even if the clutter is still there, at least it looks a little cuter. I used hardboard that I painted and left the edges rough. I painted and glued on clothespins and glued magnets on the back of the board. It also helps with the problem of weak magnets not holding enough because the clothespin can hold a lot more.
I got this idea from a vintage paper crafts book. I recycled jam jars and decoupaged pages from books. The idea is to use the jars to store craft items, use as pencil holders, or for display. Right now mine are on top of my kitchen cabinets where I display my decorate glass serving pieces.
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, Old time is still aflying, and this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying. R. Herrick
The measure of life after all, is not it's duration but it's donation. My favorite part of this is the old wooden measuring stick that was once my dad's.
