Only Ten Steps to Absolute Perfection

Have you ever wished you had somewhere cute to hang wedding announcements, grocery lists, maybe pictures or just daily reminders? I was struggling with this dilemma as I needed somewhere to put my daily reminders to help me keep track of all my daily tasks. I thought perhaps a cork-board with push pins could work but it seemed far to ordinary. I was looking on our fridge at the plethora of things and thought "It's a shame I can't have a mini fridge door in my room!" Then it dawned on me, make a magnet board. I went down to Porters to find supplies, luckily they are well equipped for such a project.

What you will need:

1 Magnet Board with two holes at the top

1 piece of scrap book paper of your choice

1 yard of ribbon that matches your paper

Scrap booking tape

Hot glue gun

Scissors

Screw or something pointy (You'll see why)

Here's how you do it:

Step 1. Make sure your paper is the same size or larger than your magnet board.

Step 2. Take the scrap booking tape and roll pieces of tape along the perimeter of the board

Step 3. Carefully place the paper onto the board and press down where there is tape, make sure that if your paper has a print that the holes in the board are at the top of the page.

Step 4. If any edges are hanging over carefully trim the edges

Step 5. Take your screw or whatever you have that will work and poke a whole through your paper where the holes on the board are. If you do use a screw poke them from the back of the paper so the ridges pull the hole backwards.

Step 6. Use your hot glue gun and put a few dabs along the bottom of your board and place the ribbon on top. Make sure that on one side of the board you only leave and inch of ribbon hanging over.

Step 7. Trim the long side of your ribbon and leave an inch hanging over on that side as well.

Step 8. Use your hot glue gun and put two dabs on the back and fold your ribbon over so there are no raw edges.

Step 9. Take the remaining ribbon and string it through the top two wholes.

Step 10. Tie a bow!
