They're made out of beer bottle tops filled with some glue, glitter and small alphabet dice. The magnet is then glued to the back of the tops and stuck onto a piece of cardboard with a ribbon tied around it.
The idea is so clever and cute that I'm inspired to make some myself, time permitting.
That's the thing these days, we're so run off our feet trying to meet deadlines, be a good mum, keep the house tidy, catch up with our friends ... that often the most simple and rewarding activities go by the wayside.
This friend, who I'll refer to as Bec :), is the creative type so she finds inspiration everywhere. This was particularly lovely of her because she knows I'm blogging about being grateful and with these pretty reminders stuck on the fridge I've got no excuse to forget!
Thanks Bec!
Has anyone ever had a friend make a thoughtful gift? I'd love to hear your stories!
Huh. And I thought the only cool thing you could make out of beer-bottle caps was those sticks with a million caps nailed to them that can be used as an authentic Australian (if somewhat bogan) percussion instrument.
ReplyDeleteGlitter, really, is there anything it can't do?
