Last minute makes

Today's post is a really quick one as we go on holiday tomorrow and i am still up to my eyes in packing and housework!.  This week i have been making lots of items to stock up my unit at botany bay as it has been doing well recently.  I have been meaning to make magnetic pegs for a while but just haven't got round to it so i have whipped some up and taken them to my shop.

 Here they are packaged and ready to go

 I only took a photo of a couple of packs but there are that quick and easy to do i made 10 packs

 This plaque has been half finished for ages so i have finally finished it and shipped it off to my unit.

 I also started decorating a few hard back journals.  I love the paper i used on this but wished i had continued it inside as I'm not keen on the contrasting red but hey ho!!

I have prepared a few scheduled posts so even though I'm not here i will still be updating my blog - providing it works of course!. 

Cute little note holder

A while back i bought some wooden plaques made from MDF to make some bedroom signs for my neices. I still have a couple lying around so i came up with a cute little note holder for in Lili's bedroom.  What do you think?...

 It was easy to do i just took me about half an hour

 The cute bird stickers are from accessorize

If you want to make one you will need..

• a wooden plaque (or you could use really stiff card)
• 3 wooden pegs
• spray paint
• a piece of scrapbook paper and a small piece of co-ordinating card
• stickers
• ribbon
• a 2" punch
• double sided tape

1. spray paint your pegs and leave to dry
2. Cover one side of your plaque with scrapbook paper
3. Punch 3 circles out of your co-ordinating card
4. cover your pegs on the 2 straight sides with ribbon using double sided tape.
5. attach one punched circle to the front of each peg and add a sticker.
6. attach the peg to the bottom of the board using glue or dounble sided tape
7. repeat woth the other 2 pegs
8. stick a piece of ribbon near the top of the board and add some stickers
9. stick a hanging piece of ribbon in a hoop shape to the back and then cover the back of the board with scrapbook paper to hide the ribbon.
