Magnets and Tins

I just got a gift from a friend that despairs that (other than this Blog) I'm not into social media!

I thought it was so cute that I'd share it with you. 

My very own refrigerator communicator and you can find it HERE 

 The little box I made by covering an old tin box with pretty car fabric and then gluing 2 magnets to the back. I hate to part with empty containers if I like their shape or graphics.

 I love to find useful ways to recycle them. 

This is an old peanut tin, first I put masking tape along the top to cover the sharp edge. I then covered it with handmade paper and some buttons and a string bow. 

I finished it with varnish. 

I store erasers in this one
