recycle project no. 8 - magnets

I know I said I'm busy (I still am) but with all the paper flying around here I came up with this tiny project. It's really easy and it only takes a few minutes to make.

Materials:
- 4 - 3/4" x 9" (2cm x 23cm) junk mail paper strips
- small magnet
- glue stick
- glue gun

I rolled each strip using a wooden skewer and glued the end with a glue stick. In order to cover the magnet the paper is a bit wider than the magnet.





I hot glued the rolls to the magnet. I made sure not to use too much glue so it wouldn't seep through the rolls (on the front view).



Another option using the recycled paper that I use for wrapping my packages. Here I just used three rolls because the paper is thicker, making each roll wider.



Gotta go! The kids get out of school a little earlier on Fridays so I have to make the most of my day. Have a great weekend everyone! :)
