Sometimes you need a simple, quick and easy craft. Something that takes 5-10 minutes to complete.
So you can get in. Get out. And get on with your life.
Enter my DIY seed packet refrigerator magnets.
I dare you to find something easier than this!
5 Minute Craft - DIY Seed Packet Refrigerator Magnets
Step 1 - Find some pretty seed packets at the local store.
Step 2 - Cut off a piece of self-stick magnetic tape and stick to the back of the seed packet.
It's the same magnetic tape I used in my Wall Pocket Organizer project last summer (a roll of that stuff goes a LONG way).
Step 3 - Slap it up on the refrigerator.
Sure, you could take the seeds out and actually plant them if you wanted to.
But then all of a sudden you're traipsing out to the shed to find peat pots and that bag of potting soil you tucked away last summer and get sucked into straightening up the mess the mice have made in the shed. Then you totally blow past the 5-10 minute crafting time frame.
So what's your time limit for crafting projects? Do you prefer being able to complete them in one sitting? Or do you prefer longer more in-depth projects that take years weeks to complete?

That's a really cute project! Personally, I don't do a lot of crafts, because the tears and swearing were a bit much, but this actually looks like something even I could do 😉

You are so clever Pam! I love these. Funny but I've never thought of making my own magnets for the fridge. Gosh knows I need all the help I can get remembering things hahaha
I hope you had a lovely Easter.

So this project is right up my alley. EXCEPT my stupid stainless refrigerator is not magnetic. What the heck? Who cares. I'm pinning this anyway!

I'm smiling at your NOEL on the frig. I have a load of Easter to put away when we get back from the lake. As you know, I love decorating for the holidays and the house is going to feel empty. I'm ready for spring crafting projects! Cute idea.

i forgot can i ask a quick question... yes .. good, is this a new trend to make the writing so small and light? it is really hard for my old eyes to see thanks for listening xx
Pam
No it's not a new trend 🙂 I had changed my font when I first moved to WordPress a few weeks ago and for some reason it's changed itself back to this itty bitty thin one! Driving me batty. I'll change it back and see how long it will stay that way this time. Thanks for reminding me!
