Product Challenge--Making Memories 8" Shapes/Letters


Here's a quick and easy Product Challenge using some of the great stuff from the July Hybrid Kit. (plus some goodies from my scrap pile)
I used the Making Memories 8" Flower Shape but, the same concept could apply to all shapes and Letters.
Items needed:
Making Memories 8" Flower
2 sheets of Coordinating Daisy D's Girlfriend Line Pattern Paper
Bazzil Big Brad (my stash)
Bull Dog Clip (my stash--office supply store)
Ribbon (Walmart)
Crop-a-dile
Liquid Adhesive
Pencil
Fine Grit Sandpaper
Self Adhesive Magnets
1st Step:
Trace the flower on the back side of 1 of your pattern papers and cut out and adhere to the front of the flower shape.


2nd Step:
Sand edges to get rid of any 'over' cuts or mis-cuts.
This is a great way to make your project look a little more 'finished'.




3rd Step:
Trace flower on the back side of 2nd pattern paper and then free hand draw another 'flower' about 1/2" on the inside of the outer line. (see photo)
Cut out and adhere over 1st pattern paper.
This will make a contrasting 'outline'.
Sand edges again if needed.

4th Step:
Using the Crop-a-dile, punch a hole in one of the 'petals'.
Attach the Bull Dog Clip with a Bazzill Big Brad and Tie the ribbon on the Clip.







Last Step:
Cut a bunch of Magnet strips and adhere to the back of the Flower Shape.

That's it!
You have just created a Fun Magnet for your Fridge to hang your childs school work/notes or things to do list.
This would also make a great gift for a friend or teacher.


Let's see what you can dream up with your Making Memories 8" Shapes and Letters!

Have a great one!
