pasta and magnets

Posted by sieni on June 24th, 2008 — Posted in Random moments, Tara

This afternoon Tara and I made a pasta necklace:

It broke after she tried to eat it.

And for the longest time I have been cringing at the sight of the countless magnets on our refrigerator that advertise Shlomo’s pizzeria, the Golomb pharmacy, and who knows what else in Hebrew.

And also for some time I’ve been cutting out pictures of patterns and colours I love from magazines and stashing them away with the hope of using them for something creative one day. So today was the day.

I cut out those patterns and stuck them over the ugly magnets. Easy peasy.

You can go further and use family photos, recycled wrapping paper, or your child’s favourite cartoon characters. Anything goes! And the fridge doesn’t look half bad.

use glue, spread it over your nice paper, then paste that over the magnet.
