Check out not martha.
She has a tutorial for those, and a lot of other things you might like if you dig the magnets.
Her site is really great, tons of cute craft ideas and projects.
I love not martha. I wonder if she's a mefite? She links to food and housekeeping-related AskMes almost every day on her blog.
Those magnets are the cutest thing. She puts them in altoid tins to give as gifts - 6 of them fit perfectly. taz, I would like some in my Christmas stocking, please.
I'ma gonna do that ico... though I doubt it will be in time for xmas. It took me about 12 years to figure out where to find pretty much everything in Thessaloniki, and Athens is the mystery unfolding. Once I manage to find a place that sells those marble thingies, I'm making some for you!
We've made those before! We used magazines as picture sources but I'd bet some neat fabric would work equally well. Just make sure to use strong enough magnets, we learned that one the hard way.
I really like them too. Mum was mumblemumble about needing more magnets for her fridge. I'm gonna see what I can find that'll go with her decor. I really like the instructions that don't use glue guns because I have two in storage somewhere.
