Back To School magnet!

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
~Mark Twain

My daughter starts school this week, where has the summer gone? I am an Activity Day (girls 8-12) leader in my church ward, and wanted to find something fun to do for back to school. I found this idea, from a while back, at Dollar Store Crafts, and it was so fun and easy to make!
Items Needed:
  • 4x4 chipboard coasters
  • Scrapbook Paper
  • Modge Podge
  • Binder Clips
  • Post it Notes
  • Magnets
  • Odds and Ends to Decorate with
Step 1: Cut your scrapbook paper to the same size as your coaster. Modge Podge your Scrapbook paper onto your coaster. Let Dry.
Step 2: We Modge Podged on little sayings such as Choose the Right, Be your Best, or Be a Friend as a fun little reminder to the girls throughout the day.
Step 3: We split the Post it Notes in half, and then put them on the board with a binder clip. Glue a magnet to the back!
The girls had so much fun making these, below is some of the ones the girls made! You would have a lot of fun making them as well.
Would you like to win a kit to make FIVE? If so link up your Crafting for a Cause project HERE, and you could win a package of five, for your own back to school party!

I like to LINK at these Parties!
