Artwork Holder Magnet
Jackie C. tells us how to make a unique magnet.

Materials Needed:

  • Paint Stir Stick
  • Paint
  • 3 Clothespins (with a spring)
  • Glue
  • Magnet Strip
Instructions:
Paint the paint stir stick whatever color you want. Paint the 3 clothespins a matching color if you like. Once the paint is dry, glue the 3 clothespins onto the stir stick. Make sure they are evenly spaced across the width of the stick.

With a paint or permanent marker personalize your project. I wrote "Look what (child's name) made evenly spaced across the stick. Attach the magnet strip to the back of the paint stir stick. Now you can display art work or school papers on the fridge.
