I love to make fridge magnets. Made these today and they really make me smile.

Without giving away secrets, what can you say about the design? Vintage images?

 

[Spottytoes]

No special secrets. I just take a picture or what have you and put laminate on both sides then a magnet on the back. For the flat style of magnet I just use the the thin peel off magnet that you just cut to whatever size you need. A friend of mine gave me a cute collection of dog “sticky notes” and I felt the “vintage” pink poodles needed to become magnets. 😊 I’ve made many cute magnets this way. Cheap and easy. Great way to make bookmarks too, minus the magnet of course.

Anyone remember these kits? I found a few on eBay, from the 80s. They make nice Christmas tree ornaments.

Robin - That's fantastic! How did you get Peggy's colors?

Pure luck! As soon as I saw the colours, I knew I needed to make that purchase.

I am totally “jealous, PTP!😉
That is quite the find!
You must show us when it’s finished!

I'm trying to decide if I should attempt to recreate her ticking or just keep it to blocks of black and white.

 

[Liz]

I'd be tempted to make a Mia, but it would probably turn out better if I stuck to the blocks.

Oh, try for the ticking - an integral part of Peggy and one of the things I love about her.

I'd be tempted to make a Mia, but it would probably turn out better if I stuck to the blocks.

I'm guessing it would work better to add the ticking with a felt tip pen after making the piece. I doubt that it would work well trying to use the crystals.
